In Uwe Henneken’s works, different visions of landscape, fantastic nature or fantastic kind appear authentic in themselves. In small paintings, which are reminiscent of the formats of the Biedermeier period, each each picture follows its own laws; they are like apparitions of the visible visible, just as it has crystallized out of the invisible. Each of these pictures exists only in the moment of representation and is thereby painted so lightly that one has the impression that it could disappear again in a moment. The melancholy, which lies at the basis of the pictures, is only only intensified by this fleetingness. The narratives, which are often often alluded to in the paintings, refer to an aesthetic world that is interweaving of the self and nature, of past and present. Thereby, in reference to the romantic tradition, the artist fictionalizes and spiritualizes the world through a conscious language in order to spiritualize the world through a conscious language, in order to make visible what is transcendent and repressed in the world. Finally, the paintings are striking in their dense, lightly painted brushstrokes and in their fascinating colorfulness, the paintings are so captivating that one can hardly escape their impact.
