The results may hint to something intangible within the painted color space, but they are demonstrations of the relationship between a thought and its physical execution in a material. With my works I like to invite the audience to share the pleasure of drawing and painting, to dive into form, space and atmosphere and to decipher processes and the relationship between the elements on the canvas as the content mater of the painting.
In a close relation to color materials and application techniques my drawings, paintings and three-dimensional installations, explore spatial compositions with gestural marks of lines and through visual color-spaces. Three-dimensional objects and installations, color-space constructions, are generated out of paintings developing an inseparable entity out of the visual, painted and the architectural, built space." henninghaupt.com |

"I have always been a creative artist. It makes me happy when I create my art. Then, I get to share my art with others and hopefully make them happy too! It gives me pleasure to draw and paint. At the moment when I am being a creative artist, I find my true self and I become one with nature. My work is Abstract Expressionism using mixed media collage. I paint at times, brushless, pouring the paint and experiencing the accident. The strength in my work is about color, which reflects the different mood phases in my life. I have painted continuously since 8 years old and also while teaching Art at Palm Beach State College and Florida Atlantic University for the last 15 years. I studied Fine Art at the School of Visual Arts in New York City with some of the finest NY American Artists in the 1960’s. Richard Pousette-Dart, Malcom Morely, and Nicholas Carone were my mentors. My work has been shown at the Fort Lauderdale Museum of Art, Boca Museum of Art and the Gallery Center of Boca Raton. Painting is an adventure, one never knows where it will go, or what it will be; It has a life of its own. It can’t be controlled. I love doing it."
