Keith Richards (2017) Collages by Henning Leuschner

Henning Leuschner was born in Sauerland in 1968 and now lives in Cologne. In addition to his work as a freelance artist, the trained social worker has been working as a department head in the youth welfare department of the LVR and as a freelance systemic supervisor in the Rhineland since 1996.

Since beginning his artistic activity in 2013, his artistic work has included portraits, still lifes, landscapes and city impressions made from used as well as new crown caps. As a passionate music lover and world traveler, he finds his inspiration at concerts/music festivals and when travelling. As an upcycling artist, his works are characterized by the urge to combine art and life in a sustainable way. Henning Leuschner emphatically describes his bottle cap art as a human cultural product and the result of a creative drinking process - analog art in a digital age. The starting point of every work of art is an intensive encounter with life events, which the artist internalizes and for which he creates a huge collection of motifs consisting of thousands of bottle caps. These seamlessly combined result in a unique work of art with a state of perfection and complete harmony. The works of Henning Leuschner do not require any theoretical support. The overwhelming presence of the artworks does not ask about school or concept. They grab the viewer and leave a lasting impression. Changes in light and perspective always lead to new perceptions. Each of his works of art completes a journey that culminates in a single scene.
