Cary Henrie paintings are created by a unique process of combining oils and acrylics layered upon canvas. With each piece, he spends hours layering his canvas with additive and subtractive methods: sanding, varnishing, taping, adding paint, burnishing and removing layers of paint. Henrie's highly textural process enhances the depth and sophistication of each work of art, and the result is a fresco-like patina on a weathered surface.
The artist says of his work, "I really try to capture a symbolic or time weathered scene or landscape with an abstract sensibility." Aside from a western looking facade, Cary Henrie draws much inspiration from Italian frescos and his time spent in New York museums.
