CARY
HENRIE —Cary Henrie was born in 1961 and was educated at Pratt
Institute in New York City. His paintings are created by a unique
process of combining both oils and acrylics layered upon canvas.
With each piece, he spends hours layering his canvas with additive
and subtractive methods: sanding, varnishing, taping, adding paint,
burnishing and removing layers of paint. Henrie's highly textural
process enhances the depth and sophistication of each work of art,
and the result is a fresco-like patina on a weathered surface. The
artist says of his work, "I really try to capture a symbolic
or time weathered scene or landscape with an abstract sensibility." Aside from a western looking facade, Cary Henrie draws much inspiration
from Italian frescos and his time spent in New York museums.
