Text from the exhibition curators:
The works on display are part of the “Adolescents” series, an ongoing project that comprises more than 150 pieces in which the models are representing in a pose of their choosing; “there is no self-consciousness but a rough representation of their inner self”, as the artist states. Besides the gouache works, the exhibition also presents two installations put together by the artist in a special design for Brukenthal Museum’s location.
In the last two decades, Simon Henwood has done an extensive experimentation on different artistic sequences from painting, drawing, photography, bibliophile books to animation, artistic video-clips, installations and new media. His works were exhibited by most prestigious museums and galleries among which MOMA (NYC), ICA (London), UCLA Hammer Museum (LA) and Galeria Sophie Sheideker (Paris). The artist is also known for his cooperation with Kanye West, Rihanna, Alicia Keys, Roisin Murphy, Badly Drawn Boy and Imogen Heap for whom he has done video-clips, promotion concepts, costumes, scenography or graphic design.
