“I remember 1980 as a year of innovation and grand global events, Henry and I were in college where we sat around analyzing the behaviors and events of society. Henry and I used to dream of having a solo show together and opening a gallery or studio in NY or Paris. Conversations always revolved around our dreamed collaboration in which we discussed how our exhibition would show the world how to change for the better. No matter the time or place, when we’re together our enthusiasm was always preserved to that heightened level we maintained as young dreamers. However, our temperaments lead us on different paths and through time we went from being dancers to actors to Avant-guard painters where we remained until the last day of his life.”
“Henry was an intelligent and informed artist, and even though his production was cut short, his artwork is mature. The graphic essence of his work coupled with the passion Henry had for history positioned his work into a very special place within the art world. This show is very important because it will reflect the strength of an intense and meticulous artist with ideas that demand attention.”
“I am preparing a series of portraits depicting Henry which will reflect the multifaceted human and profound thinker that he was. His smile will be the main focus of my work for this show and I hope to imprint the ideas of freedom and turbulence that existed in his mind. I knew him very well. Henry was and will be forever the friend, the brother and the artist that remain in our hearts. His intelligence is my inspiration, and his friendship is my treasure.” – Written By Danilo Gonzalez
