WELCOME TO THE HHR WEBSITE !

Some changes are happening around my art and currently a lot of the HHR paintings are not on the website. Contact me via email (contact@hhr-art.com) if you are interested in something on this website or my social media and also if you’d like a tour around my Workspace and Gallery.

I am HHR (Hedda Hondon Raa (Raa means Raw:)) and I have been drawing and painting (plus combining the two) since 2008. I live in Copenhagen and my workspace, Gallery HHR, c/o on Lerchenborg, is situated at Lerchenborg Castle in Kalundborg by the seaside of Western Zealand in Denmark.

In the beginning of 2023, I started showcasing my work publicly and have since then made exhibitions, workshops, events with HHR Live Painting and Drawing Shows, collaborations and the opening of a gallery.

I create my work in the same manner as I practice to live, present and according to and inspired by the natural physicality of my existence and that of my surroundings. I have a spontaneous and intuitive expression which differentiates from piece to piece and currently I am working on the following Collections:

- ‘Globe Heads’ (abstract faces)
- ‘Huanimals’ (abstract full figure body shapes)
- ‘Other Animals’ (abstract animal shapes)
- ‘Selfie vs Cellfie’ (here I receive a photo of a person and create what I call a ‘Cellfie’)
- ‘HHR Copying HHR’ (in this Collection I reuse the images of older original works and make original variants. The Collection is numbered apart from one of the images.

I work with paper, canvas, walls and also paint on recycled materials such as wooden boards, chairs, tables, fridges and freezers. The media are acrylic paint/markers, spray paint, oil paint/sticks, oil pastels, soft pastel, graphite, eraser liquid and often I throw in some sand.

In every piece, you can somewhere find my signature HHR.

To me, creative output brings liveliness and human connection, and it’s a huge privilege and pleasure to be collaborating with poets and musicians on and off stage. On stage I draw and paint alongside them, the pieces created during these shows are called ‘Show Paintings’ and before a show, I will always make preparation works, which I call ‘Rehearsal Paintings’.

You’ll find information about all my active and upcoming exhibitions, shows and collaborations on this website and you are welcome to sign up for my Newsletter via the ‘Contact Formular’ or mail to contact@hhr-art.com.

EVERYBODY IS WELCOME !!!
