Spotlight On Anti-Uncoventional Artist Anton Henning

WHO: Anton Henning

WHAT: Ferien vom Du!/Abstract Masterpaintings

WHEN: September 11 - October 16, 2010

WHERE: Zach Feuer Gallery
530 W 24th Street
NY NY 10011

WHY:

Henning's work, in its scope and variety, can be interpreted as a series of related riddles. The work's contradictions, oppositions and discrepancies reveal both the absurdist and traditional veins in his work. Henning is anti-unconventional in his examination of traditional art genres (including portrait, landscape, nude and still life, in which he often blurs the boundaries between the genres) and his work frequently includes mixing and sampling the work of other artists, with humor and self-awareness that does not conform to contemporary expectations or fashions.
