Henk Hannemann is a Dutch artist who constantly works on his collages and assemblages. Even during his travels he brings a pair of scissors, glue and paper. He picks up his vintage leaflets, magazines, books etc. along the way. In his hometown Leiden in The Netherlands he works in an old classroom both on his collages and assemblages. Regularly he has exhibitions. You can also find him on Facebook. Since summer 2014 he works on his art in the former mental hospital Schakenbosch on the border of Leidschendam. The books and magazines he uses for his collages are often half a century old or even older. The assemblages (boxes) are made from objects found on the streets or on flea markets and second hand shops. Hannemann got selected in 2014 for Kunstwerkt in Belgium with a collage about the First World War. His work was exposed in Muzee in Oostende. In 2015 his collage Great Balls of Fire was selected for the Zomerexpo in Haags Gemeentemuseum. In January 2016 Henk Hannemann was accepted as a member by Ars in Leiden, the oldest Art society in The Netherlands. In 2017 Hannemann was rejected for the Zomerexpo but selected for the Salon des Refusés in Stedelijk Museum Schiedam. Update. On the first of May 2016 Henk Hannemann moved to a new studio in Hazerswoude-Rijndijk. And guess what? He got asked back to Schakenbosch-Leidschendam. So at the moment there are two studio's. One for the collages and another one for the assemblages. Contact: henkhannemann@yahoo.nl. Or mail or phone: rikhasselbach@yahoo.com-(0031)638023923

Collages made in Albox, Almería – Spain

During my stay in Albox I volunteered for https://www.apsa.org.es/ and walked the dogs. During my travels I collect old books and make collages along the way. So I decided to make collages, but them on my Facebook and sell them for a donation directly to APSA. And I think it worked fairly well.

The collages are made on heavy watercolor paper and are all 14,85x21cm. Most of them go by mail to The Netherlands. To enlarge please click the image.

Rumble in the streets of Leiden

Some graffiti guys thought that their massive work was more important than mine. So they got it from the wall, threw it away and sprayed their work.
I fully understand that work in the open air is risky and can easily be damaged. Fine. But it is something else when “colleagues” get your work from the wall and change it for their work. It became a sort of argument where even local newspaper Leidsch Dagblad paid attention to.

Landwehr

Collage made on a framed reproduction. Size approximately 60x70cm with a passe-partout and frame of around 70x80cm. The frame and reproduction come from the artshop Landwehr that housed once in the Haarlemmerstraat in Leiden-The Netherlands. Therefore the title Landwehr.
The images used in this collage are all from Roger Dean who made covers for various artists as Yes, Uriah Heep and Osibisa.
