About

My studio practice is centered on an inquiry into the production of painting and space. My projects are series of paintings, objects and installations. The limitations of materials and context are in turn generative, resulting in investigations into the medium of painting, the experience and perception of color space and other related problems. Tying my work to the reasons of production, process and to my own labor as an artist I act in the tension between formal qualities and larger systems how they inhabit human spaces.

Henning Haupt exhibited paintings and installations, among various venues and galleries in solo shows at Design Building Gallery UM Amherst, 2023, Main Window Dumbo and Equity Gallery, NYC 2018, the Wenzel Hablik Museum, Germany, 2016 and Coral Springs Museum of Art, USA, 2014.

Haupt was Dresden Fellow at the TU Dresden, 2019 and a fellow of the Artist-in-Residence-Program at Anderson Ranch Arts Center, Colorado, 2016. In 2013, he was awarded with the South Florida Cultural Consortium Fellowship, exhibited in the Museum of Art, Fort Lauderdale.

Currently Haupt is head of the Chair for Foundations of Art and Architecture at the Institute of Buildings and Design, Faculty of Architecture, TU Dresden. Before that he taught at Florida Atlantic University and at the Technical University Braunschweig, Germany where he completed his PhD with a Dissertation on color and space in painting and architecture.
