Hannes Heinrich

Hannes Heinrich operates at the intersection of painting and sculpture, leveraging his strong technical background in painting while embracing a different methodology. During his creative process, he engages in philosophical inquiry, wrapping selected objects in unstretched canvas and tracing their contours. These outlines become the foundation for his compositions.

Initially, one might think the bold charcoal lines are merely on the surface, but they actually mark the beginning of his process. Heinrich’s technical training enables him to challenge viewer expectations and create subtle disorientation.

He considers his work as a whole, resisting the urge to define its meaning solely by the functionality of the depicted objects. This approach offers fresh perspectives on familiar forms, inviting viewers to reinterpret them and allowing each piece to transform with each new encounter.
