Oakwood 26th Invites: 3/4 Hennie Mahieu

Hennie is a young Belgian artist living and working in Bruges.

Her work is mostly abstract, with an obvious fascination for the colour red. Hennie describes her proces of creation as a dance, fluctuating in between the ‘letting go’ to ‘being at war’.

The vulnerability of the paper she often uses makes an interesting contrast to her strong and recognizable colours.

Her work is mixed media, but this will not ‘hit you in the face’. An attentive audience will notice the soft play with different materials and structures.
