KARLI HENNEMAN
| EXPLORATION OF LIGHT AND SHADOW

Karli Henneman is a Los Angeles-based artist whose serene exploration of light and shadow investigates urban spaces’ ambiguous markings.

Her hard-edge painting technique offers a meditative perceptual experience through the intricate interplay of simple geometric forms.
Using a neutral palette with subtle variations of color and tonal differences, she creates works of both equal opposition and volume.

Questioning our modern world through methodical exhibits of shades of gray. The distinct clean lines and tonal shifts of Henneman’s work imbue a spark of coaction between her subject matter’s formal structures, brutalist form meeting elegant shadow.

Her language of minimalist elements on vertically orientated linen canvases unify her paintings with both balance and a keen sense of craft.

I am a Los Angeles based painter and mother. I was born in Idaho but spent most of my adolescent years working in fashion in Tokyo and Paris.I began my Fine Art education at Parsons (The New School for Design) in Paris and transferred my studies to New York City. I received my BFA from Parsons (NYC) and continued my graduate studies at NYU in Art Therapy.
While living in New York City, I created colorful, labor-intensive mixed media pieces (composed of paper collage, beads, and acrylic paint).
After over 10 years in New York, I moved to Los Angeles, and my artwork took a dramatic shift. Inspired by southern California’s light, I began painting minimalist architectural details.
