The events captured in Filip Henin's (b. Mayen 1986 lives and works in Berlin) paintings are set in a world beyond time and place as though on an empty stage prepared for a Samuel Beckett production. It is virtually impossible to say whether a picture shows a coastal region or a craggy slope up in the mountains whether a field of blue represents the sea or a band of open sky. Henin strips landscapes down no less than human figures subtracting specific features to isolate basic forms that might be found in the hill country around his hometown in western Germany or in Tuscany. His work integrates quotations from antiquity Romantic landscape painting and postmodernism as well as Italian Transavanguardia the mysticism of Francesco Clemente and Sandro Chia and the figurative painting of the 1990s. Without veering into drama or pathos he harnesses two utterly antithetical energies: the reflection on painting and the history of art and the need to be simple.
