Victorian women in masks, sheep dominating young boys, hooded
figures popping out of the long grass, demented cherubs and aroused
attack dogs are just some of the darkly humorous figures that
populate the work of rising New York artist Kent Henrickson.
Employing many media and techniques--including drawing, embroidery
on linen, wallpaper and sculpture--Henrickson produces rich and
crafty artworks that create peculiar psychosexual worlds while
balancing classical references with a contemporary sensibility.
"There is an absurdist quality attached to my imagery, as boys
become cloaked or as hooded executioners or young girls dance and
play with ghosts while they themselves are bound. At first glance
these scenarios appear to be completely inappropriate and
preposterous, but upon further scrutiny they can allude to
psychological games and/or individual power struggles." This first
monograph features paper changes, lots of full-bleed images and a
host of excellent essays and interviews.
