Henri Henin (1977) - Musiciens et danseurs du Carnaval

Henri Henin (1977). The Carnival Musicians.
Oil on canvas.

This superb painting depicts a group of musicians and dancers dancing and playing drums and pandeiros (tambourines). The scene immediately evokes a batucada or a carnival parade. The composition is very dynamic: bodies intertwine under a flowering arch of wisteria or purple bougainvillea, creating a sense of joyful, swirling movement. A very lively and vibrant work. Dimensions 73 x 92 cm.

Of Belgian nationality and trained as an architect, Henri Henin (1977) began painting at the age of 12. He tries many techniques. Around 20, his work shifts toward a real artistic exploration of light. Quickly gold and pigments take precedence in his works. His historic studio “Atelier d'Art Brossel” (located at 10, Rue du Petit Saint-Jean in Saint-Tropez, as indicated by the address printed on a card on the back of the canvas). We also find the handwritten signature “Henin” traced in black paint at the bottom left of the composition.

Beyond the aesthetics that emanate from it, each of his paintings aims to be changeable like the variations of natural light in living spaces. After several exhibitions, notably in Paris, in Nancy and in Belgium, his work evolves in colors, forms and techniques.
