MARILYN HENRION….EXCERPTS FROM
RECENT REVIEWS
“….Henrion breaks down the
barriers between craft and art
by creating works that
transcend all such categories
by virtue of their sheer
aesthetic power……We must
approach Henrion’s quilts as
we would paintings or
sculpture, or else we do them
the serious disservice...

Artist Statement for Marilyn Henrion
|
|
|
Marilyn Henrion uses color, line, and form much as a poet employs words to convey a particular emotion or idea. As in poetry, the images are meant to resonate, being both themselves and something they may suggest to the viewer. The works transcend the impersonal objectivity of geometric abstraction through the sensuousness of materials with which they are constructed, revealing a blend of reason and passion which reflects the artist’s nature. Henrion’s mastery of color calls to mind early Amish quilts, and her skilled use of pattern, the paintings of Matisse, both considered sources of inspiration by the artist. The results are uniquely contemporary expressions rooted in a traditional genre which celebrates fine craftsmanship. In these pieced silk constructions, geometric abstraction is transformed into a feast for the eye and the mind, enhanced by the hand stitching which animates the surface.
Recipient of a New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship in 2005, 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.
