John Henry Opening Reception at Callan Contemporary
Callan Contemporary is honored to present "Lines of Ascension", an exhibition in homage to internationally acclaimed sculptor John Henry, who passed away last November at the age of 79. Henry’s boundary-pushing sculptures galvanized space with dynamic linear forms and rhythmic compositions that often seemed to defy gravity. Drawing from the lineage of non-representational art and Constructivism, he transmuted variables of line, color, and balance into dramatic études on visual harmony and a sense of aspiration and ascent. His output ranged from intimate tabletop pieces to some of the largest metal sculptures in the world, among them Tatlin’s Sentinel, his 101-foot-tall masterpiece in Dallas, Texas. The exhibition at Callan Contemporary—which has represented Henry for more than a decade— includes a maquette of this monumental work, as well as garden-scaled sculptures and a curated selection of pieces in steel and painted aluminum, notable for their complexity, painstaking execution, and sheer aesthetic beauty.
