Eveline Henner |
The Themes |
" It is with brilliant acrylic colors that Eveline Henner brings her impressions on to canvas. The realistic world is her domain: Flowers, butterflies, landscapes, seascapes, cities - these are the subjects she loves. Her work reflects the lucidity and transparency of colors experienced both in the Mediterranean and in the special light characteristic for Maine's coastal regions. Her paintings are conveying both affection for nature's creativity and fascination for the symbols of our civilization." |
Many of the artist's paintings reflect her fascination for FLOWERS, often interpreted as blossoms in macroscopic size. |
One of her favorites are depictions of blooming plants in the seclusion of a CONSERVATORY, a GREENHOUSE or a screened garden area. |
Especially representative of the artist's dealing with form and movement are her BUTTERFLY paintings. |
Flowers are also dominant in her STILL LIFE works, harmoniously arranged in baskets or in vases showing vividly the refracting light. |
Remarkably also the artist's cubist interplay of form, color and light in her FIGURATIVE works. |
Often MUSICAL perceptions are underlying inspirations for her creativity at the easel |
Among Eveline Henner's depictions of landscapes, her paintings with impressions from travels to NEAR EASTERN countries, are typical examples of her specific way of abstracting in a cubist style. |
In a somewhat contrast to the artist's attraction to a southern atmosphere, her depictions of sunlit snow covered ALPINE LANDSCAPES impart in an im- pressive way the feeling of a harsh winter climate |
Living in New England in MAINE'S COASTAL REGIONS gets her inspired bringing her impressions of rocky shore sceneries, of landings, boats and Lighthouses on canvas. |
Eveline Henner's unique way of transforming a perception in an interplay of form, color, light and movement produces impressive sceneries with SAILBOATS interacting with wind and water. |
A recurring theme throughout the artist's career are URBAN SCENERIES, be it an impression of a harbor's dock installations, of coastal towns in the Mediterranean or of a New York city skyline |
Paintings out of the sphere of VINEYARD AND WINE emerge of the artist's dealing with given themes for the creation of artistic wine label designs. |
Expressing hope and commitment in works with SYMBOLIC meaning |
Her portraits of CLOWNS and Harlequins induce a very special charm, conveying circus life with it's contrasts of joyfulness and mournfulness |
