Gregory Hennen
Summer Cascade, Wyatt Mt., Forest Landscape, Green, Brown Trees, Gray Boulders

2020

About the Item

The dense foliage of the forest in summertime on Wyatt Mountain near Gregory Hennen's Virginia home is the subject of this rich, highly detailed landscape painting. The many shades of verdant green are offset by earthy brown tree trunks and gray boulders allude to the peace of the forest and the complexity of nature's changing seasons. This square painting on 300 lb Arches paper is matted in off-white. Signed, dated and titled on recto and 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 brush strokes, 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.
