" Though abstracted to the very basic elements of form and color, Eveline Henner paintings still reflect the real object, emphasizing the interplay of light, color and movement. They give evidence of an extraordinary talent of handling structural shaping and color. The artist's way of abstracting her impressions gained in nature, cities or har- bors and transforming them into new structures is unique." E. Sch., Gallery, Zurich-City |
" The most important in her painting is not only her subtle work with colour, but also the rigid search for an uncompromising way of composing the painting What is especially engaging in her pictures is the clean line, the careful execution and the lively inter- play of colours, whereby two dimensional elements develop into a composition of mosaic appearance. |
Transforming a perception into areas dedicated to specific color tones is one of the characteristic elements of paintings classified as 'cubist'. Whereas in art works attributable to the 'Cubism', as in it's so called analytical period, the abstraction predominantly goes along geometrical forms, Eveline Henner's abstraction always follows the natural and real contours of an object well discernible. Thus her style is referred to as a 'Natural Cubism' and also as a 'Cubist Realism', reflecting nature's softness and civilisation's squareness, a style very much her own. |

This may recall the style of Picasso's and Braque's Cubism and also Lionel Feininger's way to deal with the questions of composition. The particular attrac- tion of her pictures is the very personal synthesis of her broad-spectral perceptiveness and her pronoun- ced capability of shaping and structuring.
