Deconstructing the style of Henning Wagenbreth

Wagenbreth's piece above appears to have been constructed using wood, acrylic paint, and canvas. This is because the finish of the colours on the physical version being characteristically solid hints that the wood blocks have been wrapped in canvas, on which paint black outlines are painted first and then filled with colour. The application of both materials and colours is very bold and cartoon-like, which results in wild miniature worlds on separate blocks that then clash when united to form a geometric architectural  oddity chiefly composed of cuboids. The abundance of bright, and highly contrasting tertiary colours coupled to imaginative, false-coloured characters and patterns provide it with a lively, hectic, rather juvenile feel.
