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

In Varna-Bulgaria at the Black Sea I couldn’t find any books. I walked for miles. But there were some antique shops with postcards. I bought this one and had the receptionist of the hotel translating it for me. Yes, it was a love letter. From 1960 and written in Bulgarian. It formed the beginning of Notre Coeur. 20x30cm/8x12inch.

SOLD TO FRANCIS AND RICARDO

Made this one in the autumn of 2016 but forgot to place it on my site. Wooden box with inlay of scrapwood. The camera was a gift and the glass negatives belonged to my father who worked for fifty years in the Academisch Ziekenhuis Leiden (AZL). The box is covered with paper from a 19th century encyclopedia and varnished with gloss varnish.

Run Ivan Run.

From May 10 till June 7 2017 I made a trip in Bulgaria using public transport. Meanwhile I made handmade collages with material found in book stalls, antique stores, streets or simply got it from the walls. This is nr. 27 and the last one of the series. With parts of a calendar, children’s book and postcard from Moscow.
