Adam Henry
Painter Adam Henry describes growing up in the Southwest and his path to finding painting as his mode of expression. Shoegaze and abstraction!
Adam Henry (b. 1974 Pueblo, CO) lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. He holds a BFA double major in Art and Art History from the University of New Mexico and a MFA from the Yale School of Art. Recent solo exhibitions were at Candice Madey gallery (New York), Meessen De Clercq gallery (Brussels), and Lundgren gallery (Mallorca). His recent show at Candice Madey (New York) titled God Speed Speed Demon presented new works expanding his use of painting’s history, color spectrums, and seriality to explore the visual language of abstract thought. Henry's work has also been exhibited internationally in group exhibitions at locations including SALTS (Basel), Josee Bienvenu (New York), Rita Urso (Milan), Dia Horia (Greece), and Bill Brady (Miami). A monograph on his work from 2011-2016 was published by Meessen De Clercq. Henry’s work is included in the upcoming exhibition SHAPES at Alexander Berggruen gallery uniting geometric and abstract works from the historic 20th century to contemporary artists.
