Description
I've tried to capture in an image the impression of a collection of memories that have been forgotten over time. What would that look like? Included are remnants of seasons (all of them), bits and pieces of things dredged up from experiences coalesced into a single image.
Also, in more formal terms, the artwork presents a vibrant and captivating composition characterized by an interplay of abstract shapes and colors. Dominated by a rich blue backdrop, the piece is lively, with the presence of a prominent sunflower-like shape radiating warmth through its yellow petals. Adjacent to this, a semi-circular form featuring alternating stripes of red and white suggests a dynamic movement, contrasting with the organic forms.
In the upper left, a cluster of small, green, leaf-like shapes suggests a natural motif, adding to the organic flow of the piece. The use of swirling colors, reminiscent of watercolors, creates a sense of fluidity and spontaneity, while the structured elements lend the piece a grounded balance.

Alain Hentschel
Palatka, FL, USA
Graduating from a master’s program in drawing and painting at California State University Long Beach in 1976, I left the US in order to discover what the world held for a young artist. Two years and many destinations later, I landed in Paris with the hopes of studying the great works of art - my desire to soak up the rich resources of history still intact. As fate would have it, the City of Light became my home for the next twenty-four years. Many historically important artists with influence on my work include Claude Monet, Vincent Van Gogh, Helen Frankenthaler, Joan Mitchell, Richard Diebenkorn, Sam Francis and Willem De Kooning to name a few. All my time in Paris and other locales both here and abroad allowed me access, first hand, to examples of all of the history of western art. I find that in the process of creating my art today, I still reflect on the experiences of my past and draw on the ideas and concepts found there and aspire to creating something new from it.
