HENRY BYRNE, Fantasy Island, 2020
Henry Byrne is a painter who works with light and shadow. You can always find a look through. Sometimes not only optically, but also literally when loose cut-out pieces of fabric hang half from the canvas. The gaps are illuminated in such a way that shadows create an alienating effect. The paintings sometimes look like a landscape and sometimes they have a more collage-like character. The result is surreal Hard edge painting with seductive paint application techniques.
