Gregory Hennen
Overlook Oct. Wyatt Mt. - Blue Sky Leaves Virginia Mountains Autumn Landscape

2016

About the Item

The autumn forest and mountain ledges of Hennen's Virginia home are the subject of this rich, highly detailed contemporary landscape painting in oil on panel. The many shades of orange and yellow offset the brilliant light blue sky allude to the peace of the forest and the complexity of nature's changing seasons. Framed in a natural wood float frame. Signed, dated and titled on verso. Although the artist names his paintings after places, his complex compositions are usually composites of several location sketches and visual memory, not exact reproductions of a specific place. A naturalist as well as a life-long painter, Hennen has a close relationship with his environment. On his daily walks he fills sketchbooks chronicling the land, the effect of passing light and the seasonal changes. From these many field sketches, a final sketch is used as a guide for rendering a drawing with graphite onto the 3/4 inch wood panel for a painting. By building up tens of thousands of small brushstrokes, Hennen’s paintings are a complex collection of small marks gathered and made solid. The landscape paintings are at once astoundingly complex and perfectly calm. Hennen makes what can be described as ego-less paintings, perfectly crafted and stunningly beautiful; his paintings are a joy to experience.
