Cranberry Juice, Virus and Band-Aid will consist of dynamically opposed installations of new paintings, sculpture and video that subvert the notion of the White Cube and challenge the traditional ways in which we categorize art.

The first gallery will contain the artist’s signature salon style installation in which the full range of Henning’s paintings will be exhibited on walls of interlocking fields of asymmetrical color. Sculpture, wherein recurring motifs are explored in three-dimensional form, will be shown alongside the paintings.

The second gallery will present an installation of paintings illuminated only from the light within the frames of the artist’s own design. This self-illuminating installation, in which the voluptuously upbeat is supplanted with the starkly sinister, forces the paintings to stand out from the white walls on which the work hangs.

The exhibition will also include a video that explores the surface of one of the artist’s signature paintings of heavy impasto and swirling vortex forms, Cranberry Juice, Virus and Band-Aid, from which the title of the exhibition is taken. The artist recently reworked the painting, a still-life that was exhibited in Henning’s last New York exhibition in 1991.
