Biografia /Biography

Christian Henkel Vive e trabalha em Berlim.
Nasceu em 1976 em Rudolstadt, Thüringen, Alemanha Oriental.

O trabalho de Christian Henkel investiga linhas, formas e espaço. Seus objetos curiosamente construídos e desconstruídos documentam os processos arquitetônicos de seu trabalho, que são influenciados pelo construtivismo e pintura de campo de cores abstratas. Sua liberdade criativa abre a combinação de materiais e formas em uma constelação sutil. Um momento aparentemente contínuo e o charme de um trabalho de estúdio ainda inacabado finalmente se manifestam com clareza e precisão quando é exibido. Embora as formas das esculturas simplesmente permaneçam únicas, o uso frutífero e direto das nuances de tinta e cor atinge uma alta individualidade de cada objeto. As composições vivas evoluem da pintura para a escultura e de volta para uma instalação de pintura tridimensional.

Christian Henkel Lives and Work in Berlin.
1976 born in Rudolstadt, Thüringen, East Germany

The work of Christian Henkel investigates lines, shapes and space. His curiously constructed and deconstructed objects document the architectural processes of his work, which are influenced by constructivism and abstract colour field painting. His creative freedom rushes the combination of materials and forms into a subtle constellation. A seemingly continuous moment and the charm of a still unfinished studio work finally manifests itself in clarity and precision when it is exhibited. While the shapes of the sculptures simply remain unique, the fruitful and direct use of paint and colour nuances achieve a high individuality of every object. The living compositions evolve from painting to sculpture and back into a three-dimensional painting installation.
