“Between Two Worlds” Ink and Watercolor on Paper, 2025

This is an original watercolor painting by the artist Henken Bean titled “Between Two Worlds.”

The artwork features a biomorphic, abstract composition, characteristic of Henken Bean’s style. A large, pale blue, arched tube serves as the central element, around which various smaller, tube-like forms and organic structures are intricately connected. The piece blends elements that appear both biological and mechanical, with some forms resembling nerve cells or fantastical flora, while others have jointed, almost robotic components. The use of a soft, yet distinct color palette with yellows, greens, and pinks against a stark white background highlights the complex interconnectivity of the surreal system depicted. The title, “Between Two Worlds,” suggests a thematic exploration of connection, transition, or the relationship between different realms, such as the organic and the synthetic, or the microscopic and the macroscopic.
