Marilyn Henrion
Noho Gallery
530 W 25th StAt the heart of certainty, there is turbulence. In these new works, Marilyn Henrion leads Josef Albers’ “Homage To The Square” on a wild ride through a series of dazzling permutations, reflecting various forms and degrees of turbulence. The artist invites the viewer to interpret the metaphorical images in these works anywhere on the scale from the cosmic to the terrestrial, to the political, to the personal.
Art critic, Ed McCormack writes, “….There are events in our common history which color our consciousness indelibly. …… Henrion appears to have tapped into a powerful communal trauma in these new works, which so dynamically deconstruct geometric formats that we are used to thinking of as inviolate. Only by acknowledging this can we move on to a more dispassionate aesthetic appreciation of Marilyn Henrion’s “Disturbances” series, a crowning achievement in the career of an artist whose evocative forms, lush colors, and silkenly sensuous surfaces have already won her prestigious fellowships, a place in numerous public and private collections, and a loyal following among those who still believe the creation of beauty to be one of the most worthy goals of art.”
Recipient of a New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship in 2005, Marilyn Henrion is a graduate of Cooper Union and a native New Yorker. Her works are included in museum, corporate and private collections worldwide. Henrion is also included in the Smithsonian Institution’s Archives of American Art. This is her 15th solo exhibition.
