About Damian Henry "This talented artist's crossings of style and influences from Leger to Picasso to comic strip characters creates an immediately appealing original vision." Bob Buck, former director, The Brooklyn Museum Damian Henry is an artist printmaker known for his distinctive figurative images of young couples as they go about their everyday life. Graphic works range from small monochrome etchings to large vibrant colourful monotypes. Etchings employ gentle, romantic, detailed imagery - flowers, girls, musicians. In contrast Henry's lino cuts are strong, bold, dramatic. "Damian Henry's beautiful art is the best way to add vibrancy to a damp day. He seems able to turn his hand to any figure or animal - tiger, horse, dog, cat, giraffe - all being conjured up by his deft skill. He makes it look easy, his people and creatures simple and eloquent, yet these fluent lines are the result of the time-consuming and difficult process of etching acid, aquatint or hacking into wood or lino and then printing. There’s no evidence of the toil involved, they seem effortlessly perfect." - Leyla Sanai, Scottish Art Critic News Damian's work is available to purchase online from Phillips & Evans online gallery. Damian's work is also available to purchase from the Carrie Haddad Gallery and the Diane Birdsall Gallery.
