HENSE
Whoa… I get nervous when I’m faced with a blank canvas – this is certainly a step up from that! This project is from 2012, but I just found it last week… clearly, I had to write about! This is the work of Alex Brewer, also known as HENSE. It was a private commission, in South West Washington DC, that transformed this old church into a piece of contemporary art. Boy oh boy… this would have been fun!
Seriously THIS is why I follow your blog. I have found so many wonderful artists through this site. Love!
It just makes me happy to know there is such a beautifully painted building adding colour to the world.
Wow, that color is so beautiful. Adding this to my must see list whenever I get to DC for a visit.
Stunning use of colour! This has (quite literally!) brightened up my day. Thanks so much for sharing! 🙂
Heaven forbid, someone doesn’t love this mess…comment removed.
yes. comment removed. i’m sorry, but when the comments are rude, or insulting to the artist i remove them. this is my space, and i’m not interested in negative feedback.

I used to work at a school right down the street from this! I was so happy to stumble on it on day! Worth a trip to this and other DC murals!
I really like artists who turn to street art for professional use. I mean there are so many talented artists out there on the streets who have all the imagination and creativity in the world, but yet they are limited to graffiti. Not that it’s such a limitation but imagine if they’re given the platform – then they’ll achieve a lot, like what they did with this church. Contemporary art at its finest.
