Henrietta harris I second best

Robert Fontaine Gallery, located in the heart of the Wynwood Arts District, will showcase new works by New Zealand based artist Henrietta Harris in a solo exhibition entitled “Second Best”. The opening reception will be held Saturday, November 9 from 7 to 9 p.m. during Wynwood’s Second Saturday Art Walk. The exhibit will be on view from November 9 through November 20.

Henrietta Harris is a New Zealand based artist who explores, the human condition, through a muted, soft and weightless palette. The faces in her paintings are often of young subjects, with gleaming eyes, filled with a sense of hope and confusion. As a result, her paintings, as physical objects breathe life, conveying all the vulnerabilities and truths that are deeply obvious in each frozen face that she has left for us to explore.

In her process Harris decides on each portrait as she primes the canvas. Her paintings although formal do not come from preliminary drawings or sketches, but rather, find their way into existence simply by an undetermined process, where color meets the canvas.

Consistent throughout her body of work, including those in her newest solo exhibition “Second Best” Henrietta’s style and mission as a painter is that of a storyteller. Documenting and distorted faces and personalities are of particular curiosity to her mission. In her own words: my paintings represent a stream of consciousness.

Robert Fontaine Gallery is open Monday through Saturday from 11 am to 5 pm.
