    Brand new art print by Hans Henrik Fischer. The art print is created after the original oil painting with the same title, which was exhibited at the art fair Art Herning 2023.
    When the artist so often paints children, it is an expression of artistic symbolism, where the child is a figurative, realistic symbol of the unspoiled. Children symbolize something pure and innocent that is polluted, corrupted and destroyed by growing up in our culture.
    In this work, a crying girl is seen sitting in a dark room wearing a kind of straitjacket. However, there is a small hope in the form of the small colorful bird with sparkling Disney eyes. The girl probably has a desire to be "free as a bird" - at least you as a viewer wish that on her behalf and other children behalf.

    Some of the bird's feathers are floating around the girl - how should that be interpreted?

    Hans Henrik Fischer's brand new art print 'Storybook Love' makes one think of fairy tales because of the frog, the crown and of course the title. There is a dark background and the girl has some kind of monster painted on her face, but the motif is not quite as gloomy as those we are used to seeing from the artist.
    It is said that you have to kiss one or maybe several frogs before you find the 'prince'. The saying comes from fairy tales but is also a reality for many people. Is the frog in this artwork poisonous or will it turn into a prince? Will the girl experience her first trauma, or is she in for a happy ending?
    It is completely conscious that Hans Henrik draws us into conflicting emotions and reactions. You have to feel and sense the unpleasant, "das unheimliche", in the contrast between the innocent, childish, and the crazy, adult, creepy.

    The title suggests that it ends happily if the girl kisses the frog. Regardless of the meaning you attach to the artwork, it is full of beautiful, powerful colors that will decorate any home.

    The Inner Glow - Hans Henrik Fischer

    Brand new art print by Hans Henrik Fischer. The art print is made after the original oil painting with the same title, which was exhibited at the art fair Art Herning 2023.
    'The Inner Glow' is a beautiful portrait. In this work, a girl with big, bright eyes is seen holding a burning candle in front of her in a dark room. The girl is surrounded by darkness but equipped with a lit candle, so that she can presumably figure her way out of the darkness. She is painted with a snake from her chest all the way up her face, which can symbolize a trauma or a difficult challenge.
    The title 'The Inner Glow' may refer to the girl having an inner strength - a strength that can take her out of the darkness. However, it is entirely up to the individual how the artwork is to be interpreted.

    When the artist so often paints children, it is an expression of symbolism, where the child is a figurative, realistic symbol of the unspoiled. Children symbolize something pure and innocent that is polluted, corrupted and destroyed by growing up in our culture.

Hans Henrik Fischer (born 1978)


THE MASTER OF UNEASE  
When artist Hans Henrik Fischer, born in 1978, so often paints children, it serves as a kind of symbolism, where the child is a figurative, realistic representation of the unspoiled. Children may be a symbol of something pure and innocent, which is “polluted”, corrupted and destroyed by growing up in our culture. Evil begins somewhere in the world – in a human being. If we removed humans from the Earth evil would disappear with us. Thus, his intense oil paintings show us the existence of evil and the threat to our children and, therefore, ourselves. He is not afraid of being macabre – that is how the world is. Considering that Hans Henrik Fischer is self-taught, it is remarkable that, in terms of technique, his role models are painters like Rembrandt. He is inspired by the classic painting technique using light and dark, shadows, etc. The light in Rembrandts paintings is amazing and the subtle, often saturated, calm colours are exactly what Hans Henrik likes working with because they provide a contrast in the form of purity and a natural feel opposite the often frightening images.  

What is going on in Hans Henrik Fischer’s works? At first glance it may appear innocent – the children’s big eyes beautifully reflecting the light. However, darkness is just around the corner. The children look at us, confronting us, as if they are saying: “Look at what I am being exposed to” – that is how horrible and twisted the world is. We feel repulsed, not least by the creatures often creeping out of holes and cracks in eyes and skin – and we are shocked by the juxtaposition of childish innocence and morbid horror. It nauseates us and draws us in. And that is very deliberate. Hans Henrik wants to evoke conflicting emotions in us. You need to feel the unpleasantness (”das unheimliche”) in the contrast between innocence and childhood and the crazy, creepy adult world.

In one series of paintings he uses the effect of toys as a contrast to the children, who can seem like little adults – here, even items from the children’s rooms are scary. We must be puzzled and repulsed and ask ourselves “why on earth would an artist produce such paintings?” Yes, why? Because he wants to show us something about the world we have created for our children, and for ourselves. He has received a lot of criticism for his morbid paintings, at art fairs and on Facebook, claiming they are too much, too disgusting. Because the images portray children, they are very hard for people to take, emotionally. “It is hard when it comes to children”, Hans Henrik says. It reaches something very deep inside of us, and it is an effective symbol for what he wants to get through to us. It evokes strong emotions, which the viewer has to come to terms with, and not everyone is able to do that. Hans Henrik Fischer is very sought after in his home country and his large, loyal audience means his works often have waiting lists. He is clearly spot on when it comes to the experience familiar to most people: Innocence is being corrupted and evil is lurking right behind that innocence. With his exceptional technical skill, he makes the children look at us with eyes that say “there is something wrong here, and you need to see it.”
