Adreon Henry’s latest body of work investigates the relationship between the power of the mind, prosperity, talismans, superstitions, and luck.
Can meditation and the visualization of success get you what you desire? While the idea may sound far-fetched, some swear it works, making great claims and livings from such schools of thought.
Do good luck charms hold any significance to outcomes? Or does the simple belief and projection of this idea suffice? Is there a difference? If so, does it matter?
Are there signs all around giving clues and directions for our individual paths?
Does astrology and numerology add up?
Do lucky numbers and birthdates mean much in the grand scheme of things?
Does fate or karma, or the simple belief in one or the other guide us through our earthly endeavors?
In regards to these questions, no-one knows for sure. To entertain them and believe — ultimately what can it hurt?
Artist Talk:
Now posted on our YouTube channel is this 30 minute video recording of our talk with artist Adreon Henry as we walk through his exhibit “Auspicious Premonition”.
In the artist’s own words:
“For my woven artworks, a major part of the message conveyed by each piece rests in the process.”
About the artist:
Adreon Henry has always been curious about how things are constructed and has always had a drive to create. From a very early age he developed a very specific style through repeatedly drawing imaginary friends; these friends still exist today (i.e.“The Pendletons”).
As a youth, his dedication to art intensified and he sold candy and various oddities to his peers in order to purchase his first screen-printing machine.
As a young adult, Adreon formed a band “Single Frame” and in 2000 the band decided to move to Austin, TX to pursue musical endeavors; this is when Adreon decided to commit to his artistic practice. In the intervening years, Adreon explored his creativity and found success in both music and art. Today he continues his creative endeavors, often working with the themes of time, community, and perspective. Adreon’s use of a variety of screen printing and painting techniques on non-traditional mediums, and his tenancy to cut and weave these materials, has allowed him to create a signature visual style, while his many years as a musician gives him a strong foundation to create magnificent sound-scapes and interactive installations.
Adreon lives and creates in Austin Texas.
