His paintings vibrate with color and life, reflecting his unending search for the extraordinary in the ordinary.<\/p>\n<p>Hessing\u2019s work is like a diary. He is a witness to his own life. Painting on rooftops or bridges as well as trips to the wilderness, the Yunan Province in China, and the Grand Canyon have turned his \u201cplein-air painting\u201d into an adventure. <!--more-->His extensive travels for exhibitions have provided exotic subjects for landscapes, interiors, cityscapes, and accumulated objects.<\/p>\n<p>In 1980 the Countess Karolyi invited him for a three-month residency at her foundation for artists and writers in Vence. Here he found a home conducive to work and a nourishing cultural environment. Ten years ago he moved to a larger atelier near the port of Nice.<\/p>\n<p>He exhibits worldwide and is permanently represented in Boston and Shanghai.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>L\u2019oeuvre de Hessing traduit ses annees passes autour du monde.

Ses peintures sur les toits ou les ponts ainsi que ses excursions dans le d\u00e9sert, la province du Yunnan en Chine, et le Grand Canyon transforme sa \u00abpeinture de plein-air\u00a0\u00bb en aventure.
