HezronH

“We are all blended with a swath of experiences; walking, breathing, and thinking creatures full of insight and emotions expelled through every single pore. Our aura illuminates spaces of darkness and drives ideas through vision, endowing minds with fragments of personality shimmering through a kaleidoscope of colour.”

Turks and Caicos Islands' based artist of Indo/Afro Caribbean descent; Hezron Henry's work is an exploration of this, via his practice. His body of work consists of acrylic and oil on paper, canvas, and digital painting, adapting both traditional and modern painting mediums to his signature style. His art is laden with vibrant colours and a link is established highlighting the emotive power of colour. Drawing inspiration from his youth, collecting comics, and his everyday interactions as an adult, he bridges youthful vibrancy and rule-breaking with the depth of an individual’s search for belonging in a region, still underrepresented, and overlooked. Hezron infuses his portraits with introspection and longing while vivid colours harken to a palette present in Fauvism.

His passion is honest artistic expression, creating an experience people can enjoy and connect with on an ethereal level. As one of Turks and Caicos’ most prolific artists he has exhibited in cities across Australia, New Zealand, the UK, Trinidad & Tobago at CARIFESTA, FUZE (The Bahamas), Los Angeles (USA), and at Art Takes 2021 (NYC). Hezron has also had the pleasure of being featured in several publications: Beautiful Bizarre Magazine, Bahamasair and interCaribbean In-Flight Magazines, Turks and Caicos Magazine, and selected as “Curators’ Picks: Emerging” on international arts platform Artsy.
