Henk Schilling
Johannes Hendrik Schilling (born November 7, 1928 in Voorburg , South Holland Province , † February 24, 2005 in Mülheim an der Ruhr ) was a Dutch artist. The focus of his artistic activity was on glass painting .
Life
Schilling was born as the son of the Delft- born, freelance artist Johannes Hendrik ("Henk") Eduard Schilling (1893–1942). The father taught glass painting at the Academie Kunstoefening in Arnhem . After his death in November 1942, Schillings' two older sisters and his Jewish mother (née Carels) were deported to the Westerbork assembly camp . Schilling managed to go underground and survived the German occupation in the Netherlands traumatized. He processed these experiences in his further life. From 1949 to 1954 Schilling studied at the Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten in Amsterdam , where Heinrich Campendonk accepted him into his master class for “monumental and decorative arts”. On the advice Campendonk Schilling went then to the Cologne factory schools to the Gobelinweben to learn. He was taught this technique by Christa Forsten, whom he married in 1953. The couple had four children.
With the exception of the windows for the Christ Church in Oberhausen , Schilling always carried out his designs himself. In the course of this manual work, he suggested the development of a transparent epoxy resin adhesive that enabled him to bond glass to glass as early as 1964. This technical innovation enabled a variety of color nuances, the painterly effects of layered glass and the additional use of prisms, glass rods, broken glass and non-glass materials. In the early 1960s he turned to abstraction . He had the works of art created in this way correspond to the proportions and rhythms of modern buildings through colored and structured surfaces. In addition to glass windows, Schilling created mosaics , wood inlays , antependia , tapestries in tapestry or other techniques, sculptures made of epoxy resin, magnetic walls and other "play objects". Schilling received orders in the Netherlands and Germany. Most of his works are in churches on the Lower Rhine and in the western Ruhr area .
