By integrating used sails into her maritime art, Heinke Böhnert has created her own genre, which has earned her international recognition. The Hamburg-based artist is a sailor to the core, having grown up between small dinghies and larger yachts. She realised her passion for sailing when she sailed the Alster, the Elbe and numerous oceans around the world. Böhnert combines this love of sailing boats, regatta scenes and the shadows of the ocean in her dynamic, intense and often large-format paintings. Her pieces are characterised by thick layers of paint, which give her compositions their unique structure and variety of colour. With her depictions, Heinke Böhnert has successfully modernised classic marine painting and given high-tech yachting a new, artistic focus. One of her favourite motifs is yachts starting a race, in which she artistically embeds old sails so that the race feels tangible. Some of her most recent compositions depict yachts sailing under spinnaker, with Heinke's particularly dynamic, powerful, sometimes geometric style giving her pieces a special aura. Böhnert, who previously worked in the Olympic 470 class, finds new inspiration for her artwork on board her sailing boat or at regattas. Her sporty, fast-paced paintings are often awarded as prizes at international regatta events. Atelier Newport, will show Heinke Bohnert's artwork during the event.
