Uwe Henneken

Uwe Henneken is a German artist living and working in Berlin.

Henneken began his studies at the State Academy of Fine Arts in Karlsruhe and completed his studies at the University of the Arts in Berlin. In his grotesque, amusing and fabulous paintings and sculptures, the artist transports the viewer into strange worlds. Especially impressive are the brightly colored landscapes, as in a surrealistic fever dream. In these psychedelic sets move figures unimaginable in reality, sometimes comic and cartoonish, sometimes tragic, and sometimes both at the same time.

Henneken has spent a lifetime researching the theme of shamanism and believes that the shaman is the prototype of the artist and therefore the contemporary artist is directly connected to his professional ancestor. Promoting the idea of otherworlds, through magical realism the artist brings magic to real life.
