Karli Henneman is a Los Angeles-based artist exploring abstraction through a minimalist vocabulary of serene tonal shifts, and the interplay of bold shapes and dynamic lines.
Inspired by time and decay, she allows the paint to move organically atop her substrate and dry in open-air environments. Her approach is spontaneous and intuitively connected to the materials. The emotional landscape of her work is a contemplative journey through modern gestures and visual harmony.
Her black and white photography is an expression of preserving quiet moments of self-reflection and feelings experienced in nature. A tribute to the wonder, poetry, and light of her surroundings.
Karli will soon be releasing a limited-edition art book documenting her current series, “Memori.” This new series challenges the illusion of control, and explores the relationship of her past and present emotional experiences.
