CALLE HENZEL LAUNCHES NEW OIL PAINTINGS

Henzel Art Studio is pleased to announce a new collection
of limited edition oil paintings.
In the past Calle Henzel has worked with a variety of media
including rugs, furniture and textiles. Over the last years
painting has increasingly become an important form in his
work. Even though hand tufted rugs became his main art
making instrument, painting never ceased to be a parallel
tool that allowed him to put his formal ideas in place. He
uses painting for its most genuine purpose: spontaneous
and unarbitrated conveyance of his experience of the
world around him. Henzel's overlapped; fragmented and
bold collaged paintings capture a youth culture zeitgeist.
Influenced by the opulent grandeur of 80s art his collage-
based images presenting fragile and fluctuating notions of
identity, ciphers, corrupted beauty, symbols and pulp
novels. Henzel's work embodies all the fashion and
glamour associated with that decade of decadence.
