About
Andrew Henning is a Los Angeles based painter and Art Educator. Born in Los Angeles, he takes inspiration from the beauty that exists within the chaos of city-life, interplay between the old and new, light and time, and the interaction of fabricated structures with plant-life. Themes of transience and impermanence resonate throughout this work, encouraging viewers to pause and connect with the moments they depict. Henning works from life and photographs, interpreting the scenes and emphasizing characteristics, often adding figures or elements that enhance the narrative aspect of the work.
Artist Statement
“LA can be stylistically disjointed. For me, this forms a unique aesthetic mirroring the individuality of the inhabitants. Los Angeles, as an organism, is always under construction, being edited and revised, adapting and evolving. Buildings, cars, people, objects, signs, all work together to form a mood or personality. I am drawn to scenes that depict unexpected beauty and reveal the character of a place.”
