When I first came across these murals painted on the exteriors of Church buildings, it instantly reminded me of the famous abstract expressionists,\u00a0 Jackson Pollock<\/a> and Hans Hofmann<\/a>. The creative mind & soul behind these breathtaking colorful murals<\/a> is Atlanta native, Alex Brewer alias HENSE who is now a ‘celebrity figure’ in Atlanta. His work can be found in almost every neighborhood of Atlanta transforming sleepy streets into wonderlands.<\/p>\n HENSE’s mural installations are characterized by a combination of lines, shapes and organic forms. His works are filled with vibrant colors and spontaneity. I probably would even categorize it under the label of ‘action painting’, which was a term coined by America’s very famous art critic Harold Rosenberg<\/a>.<\/p>\n “I generally work on things in a very instinctive way. I paint, spray or draw shapes and marks, then decide on what stays and what goes. I try to never be afraid to paint over something or make changes, allowing breakthroughs to the other side. Sometimes the part you hate the most about a painting becomes the most layered and interesting area once you\u2019ve destroyed it.” – says HENSE<\/p>\n HENSE has also worked on numerous projects all over US and in other countries like Spain, France, Japan, Taiwan and Mexico…..Wouldn’t it be wonderful if all the churches, mosques & temples in this world were painted like this?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
