Frantz Patrick Henry

Frantz Patrick Henry is a multidisciplinary artist of Haitian heritage whose practice explores becoming, reconstruction, personal mythology, migration, and the material conditions through which identity is continually remade. Working across sculpture, painting, installation, photography, and animation, Henry examines transformation, instability, and renewal through lyrical forms, reworked everyday objects, and construction materials that function as metaphors for collapse, repair, and emergence.  Henry graduated from the Université du Québec à Montréal in 2019 and later completed an MFA in sculpture at the Yale School of Art. His work often engages social history, migration, geography, and self-reconstruction, using gypsum cement, dry pigment, recuperated materials, carving, scale shifts, cropping, and spatial arrangement to consider how fixed categories give way to changing states of being. Across his practice, he reinterprets mythical and social stories by hybridizing his own history with those of broader protagonists, building installations that invite viewers to approach the work through both geographic and social experience.  His work has been exhibited at the Yale School of Art Gallery, Centre Optica, Art Souterrain, and Centre Clark, and he has received the McAbbie Foundation Grant for Excellence in Sculpture, the Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation Grant, and support from the Canada Council for the Arts. Recent sources also note his fellowship at NXTHVN in New Haven. Frantz Patrick Henry lives and works in Montréal.
