Henry Winfiele I didn't write in your little black book but here is some feedback for you. The show first off is well organized and presents a central idea/theme. Henry has found a typical medium and is using it in an unconventional way to create a striking piece of work that breaks the boundary between painting and sculpture. His sculpture pieces clearly allude to turning sculpture into paintings. I wish his sculptures that he is painting were made by him rather than found objects. (I am assuming that he didn't make them.) I really enjoy his method of drilling into the paintings to show the mulitple layers. Somewhat repetative but good non the less. Henry has realized his technique of layers and drilling is somewhat limited and has continued to push the boundaries of built up paint by exploring other textural methods. This is great to see him keeping himself as an artist out of a rut. Thanks Henry for pushing the evelope.
Thanks, I love getting comments. But this beats any comment I've gotten so far. To clarify, the paintings are not drilled into, rather they are cut into with a knife and then scooped out.
ReplyDeleteI did not make the chair and table; they are found objects that appealed to me. Covering such large objects was a quick transition from A to Z I think, so I want to go back and do smaller sculptures for a while. Someone recently gave me the idea of making my own objects to cover, so that's an idea I'll be pursuing next.
Thanks again for the review.
