LAWRENCE HEINTJES RETROSPECTIVE “Otherworldly Variations” Paintings and Wall Sculptures Art Show at Tillie’s Coffee Shop 248 DeKalb Avenue, Brooklyn July 23, 2007-September 4, 2007 Opening July 26th, 7-9 pm

The Director of L & M Studio, a local design workshop, Larry Heintjes, a skilled carpenter, master mold and cabinetmaker and art restorer/fabricator, coordinates all aspects of design, construction and installation for museums, architects, contractors and galleries. Whether he’s working in plastic, wood, oil paints, or gouache, Larry’s private artistic landscape accommodates eclectic nuances achieving fantastic metaphors and shades of meaning. Inspired by biomorphic forms in many manifestations, his work is a jumping- off point for a curious mind and a frequently surrealistic imagination. The pieces are rich in detail yet mysterious enough to confound and to instigate further inquiry.

L & M Studio Lawrence Heintjes was educated at Pratt Institute and lives in Clinton Hill/Fort Greene with his wife and two daughters. He has exhibited in New York area galleries, such as, Brooklyn Museum, a solo show at Concordia Gallery in Bronxville, BACA Downtown in Brooklyn and the 80 Washington Square East Gallery in Greenwich Village. Outside of NY, he has exhibited at the Wetherholt Gallery in Washington, DC and in London, England. He also lectures on mold making for artists, paper casting, and related subjects at Pratt Institute, the Brooklyn Museum, and Connecticut College in New London.
