A realistic sculpture of a middle-aged man captured in an everyday gesture and dressed casually, in dark tones.
Henry’s sculptures are contemporary figures in casual clothing, frozen mid-movement or lost in quiet reflection. He first models the forms in clay, then casts them in bronze or finishes them in ceramic, and finally paints them with oil. Much of his work is exhibited in public spaces, where the figures seem to blend into everyday life.
