Between worlds—Henrik Eiben’s interplay of color, form, and material. 
This book invites readers to encounter Henrik Eiben (b. 1975), whose work is defined by encounters: cashmere meets chipboard, wood meets leather, glass meets metal. The focus is on the colorful pieces he has created since 2023, which, compared with earlier works, increasingly extend into space. An interview with the artist offers direct insight into his artistic ideas.
Around eighty works show how Tokyo-born Henrik Eiben moves between drawing, painting, and assemblage in his practice. With seeming effortlessness, he juggles colors, forms, and materials, letting them collide, generating explosions, implosions, or finely calibrated equilibria. He seeks out challenges through the deliberate choice of new forms or materials. By bringing a human element into the art, he achieves a beauty inherent in the everyday and in the imperfect.
