Alicia Henry @ Tiwani Contemporary

During the past twenty years, Alicia Henry created work that departs from Western ideas of portraiture denoted to a likeness or a construction of a subject. Instead, her figurative, mixed-media sculptural work foregrounds the human figure in isolation and interaction.  In turn, it is conceived by the artist as belonging to both a single and communal body. To that end, her evocative, spectral work explores metaphorical and formal connections between visibility and identity.
