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

My dog friend Willem is spending his holiday with me. He inspired me to make this assemblage although he is more interested in the surroundings of my studio. On the picture you can see him overlooking his hunting ground. The assemblage is made in a drawer with inlay of a piece of a wooden play by Homas and some scrapwood. The frame with portrait was found in an old house and the dog in the bottom is probably from the fifties or sixties and in better days it could move around.

Made this little box a while ago but forgot to place it on my site. Found the back of the box in the woods of East Belgium. SOLD it a few days ago in De Tuin van de Smid on the border of Leiden. Little Deer is one of my favorites and by putting it on my site it will still stay with me. Picture made by Rob Vlieland Fotografie.

Assemblage. 40x25x10cm/16x10x4inch. Wooden drawer slightly rebuilt with various belongings of mademoiselle Martin for her last voyage. At the bottom a vintage Fernande Desgranges handbag found in the streets of hometown Leiden-Holland. Just found out on internet that they ask € 100,– for it. Bad luck. Everything for the art of Hannemann.
It’s hard to make pictures of the assemblage. So I made a collage of four pictures with different angles. Still it’s hard to see the objects in the back.
