KENT, Conn.— Kenise Barnes Fine Art will present “Behind My Eyes I Saw Me,” a two-person exhibition featuring the evocative landscapes of Gregory Hennen and the luminous still life paintings of David Konigsberg in June and July.
The exhibition opens Saturday, June 13, with a reception from 4 to 6 p.m. at the 7 Fulling Lane gallery and continues through July 26. Gallery hours are Thursday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Sunday, noon to 4 p.m.
It brings together two artists whose practices are grounded in close observation, quiet introspection and sensitivity to the subtleties of light, form and atmosphere.
Gregory Hennen is known for his meticulously rendered landscapes of Virginia, a landscape he documents with poetic vision. His paintings depict quiet, unpopulated forests, mountains and streams that invite viewers into a state of stillness and reflection.
David Konigsberg’s still life paintings, by contrast, turn inward, transforming everyday objects into contemplative arrangements where light becomes a narrative force. Konigsberg’s still life paintings explore the poetics of light, shadow, and form. His compositions — often featuring vessels, flowers and domestic objects — are rendered with a painterly sensitivity that elevates the ordinary into the quietly profound.
Kenise Barnes Fine Art has represented both artists for more than 20 years and has placed their work in important collections around the United States.
