Anton Henning

Anton Henning's Oasis is an installation in which immaculately crafted plinths supporting assorted sculptural forms seem to erupt from a brightly coloured carpet. The carpet is based on one of Henning's paintings, Interieur No.342 (2006) and it is as if the painting had been greatly enlarged, taken off the wall, laid flat on the floor, and liberally fertilised. It has become a rectilinear root system for the dense jungle of (seemingly) unconnected forms which appear to have organically arisen from it.
