This is John Henry’s first solo show at Art Nouveau Gallery, the artist was enthusiastic to show his new works in aluminum and bronze created in his studio in Chattanooga, Tennessee specially for this occasion. The 12 sculptures in the exhibit are originals and unique in large, medium and wall formats, but he also created a small sculpture in bronze named Ponce de Leon to celebrate Florida 500 Years Anniversary. Ponce de Leon is 14” high and it is an edition of 25 pieces, a collectible that will be unveiled the opening night. The show will be on display till June 21st.

“Mostly Red is exactly that, most of the works in the exhibition are red. Red is a viscerally powerful color that establishes strong contrast in most environments, indoors and out. As a tool in the creation of my work, I employ certain colors to enable the lines and shapes of the sculpture to be well articulated and distinct. In this instance I am using red to define the exhibition and unify the pieces into a symphony or a collection of passages within a larger composition.” - John Henry
