JOHANN ALEXIS GERMANY, 1974

REDEFINING OUR CONNECTION TO THE WORLD

Johann Alexis von Haehling's work navigates the profound intersections of art, philosophy, and environmental action. Through his minimalist aesthetic and subdued color palettes, he creates abstract compositions that invite meditation and introspection, encouraging deeper connections with the world. A curator since 2001 for international public and private institutions, von Haehling has refined his artistic approach through diverse influences. As the founder of the Arts & Nature Social Club, he brings together scientists, artists, and entrepreneurs to foster societal transformation, inspired by Joseph Beuys' concept of social sculpture. His work explores the fundamentals of human existence—consciousness, body, and soul—by reflecting on societal roles, environmental impact, and the potential to restore harmony with nature. Recent series such as "Universal Rocks" and "Black Dune" incorporate pigment and resin on raw canvas, enhanced by oak shadow frames to create depth. His sculptural works, including "The Voids II" and "The Voids Uplifted I", combine materials like concrete, metal, and plexiglass, challenging perceptions of both physical and metaphorical space. More than artistic expressions, von Haehling’s works serve as invitations to rethink our relationship with the world, exploring themes of sustainability, identity, and the future of humanity.
