About the artist:
A masterful exploration of nature’s endless transformations, “Hemlock Blue” invites the viewer into a vibrant, multi-layered world where organic forms and intricate details converge. Through Henrik Simonsen’s distinctive process of freehand drawing, vivid color layering, and subtle gestural additions, this screen print resonates with the fleeting beauty of the natural world. Inspired by the sinuous curves of rococo and the organic elegance of 18th-century art, Simonsen’s work embodies the timeless dialogue between life, passion, and impermanence.
With its lush, otherworldly hues and delicate interplay of positive and negative space, “Hemlock Blue” captures the ephemeral nature of existence. Each print in this limited edition reveals a harmony of depth and movement, enhanced by the artist’s signature fusion of pop art sensibilities and references to Eastern decorative traditions. This piece is a stunning testament to the artist’s dedication to capturing the beauty and complexity of the plant world, while remaining grounded in a contemporary, deeply personal artistic language.
A rare opportunity to acquire a piece from an edition of just 80, this striking screen print exemplifies Henrik Simonsen’s unique ability to marry intricate drawing with vibrant color and texture.
