VERRES RUSSES (2019) Painting by Germain Henneka

My grandmother and my uncle painted, my cousin owns an art gallery in Dublin; although self-taught, Art does not come by chance! I 'built' myself in the studio of the Parisian painter Catherine Charlot from 2010 then undertook to exhibit and sell my work from 2014 after leaving Paris for Amsterdam.

I work in acrylic and palette knife (my paint is vigorous and thick) and spend a lot of time looking for posters in the street which I tear up in order to integrate parts of them , letters, colors that I stick on my supports then varnish. Look carefully in my works and you may find the letters A - R - T because I constantly wonder about its meaning, its presence ... where is Art? where is he hiding? who makes art? from what moment is Art created? Do museums (always) show Art?

My favorite subject is the glass that I imagine filled with wine and that I repeat on my paintings, sometimes realistic, sometimes abstract. This glass that reflects the world around us, its variety, its colors, its mysteries, sometimes full, sometimes empty; this wine that I like to share because it is not drunk alone. Friendship is an important value. In the end, I compose each glass as an individual in its own right, never identical and yet so different from the others... My work is shared in the same way as this noble drink.

I am able to work to order.

I exhibit each year on a regular and recurring basis in the same salons and galleries in Paris and Amsterdam:

->Expo4art (halle des Blancs Manteaux - Paris )

->Big affordable art fair at La Bellevilloise - Paris

->Rockarchive gallery - Amsterdam

-> Rembrandt Art market - Amsterdam

These fairs allowed me to sell my works to people from all over the world.

For several years, I also organize my own exhibitions in Amsterdam (Berenstraat) and Paris (rue vieille du temple) and promote the work of other artists.
