Artist Statement:
Marilyn Henrion uses color,
line, and form much as a poet
employs words to convey a
particular emotion or idea. As
in poetry, the images are
meant to resonate, being both
themselves and something they
may suggest to the viewer. The
works transcend the impersonal
objectivity of geometric
abstraction through the
sensuousness of materials with
which they are constructed,
revealing a blend of reason
and passion which reflects the
artist’s nature. Henrion’s
mastery of color calls to mind
early Amish quilts, and her
skilled use of pattern, the
paintings of Matisse, both
considered sources of
inspiration by the artist. The
results are uniquely
contemporary expressions
rooted in a traditional genre
which celebrates fine
craftsmanship. In these pieced
silk constructions, geometric
abstraction is transformed
into a feast for the eye and
the mind, enhanced by the hand
stitching which animates the
surface.
Recipient of a New York
Foundation for the Arts
Fellowship in 2005, Henrion
is a graduate of Cooper Union
and a native New Yorker. Her
works are included in museum,
corporate and private
collections worldwide. Henrion
is also included in the
Smithsonian Institution’s
Archives of American Art....

Artist Reviews:
MARILYN HENRION….EXCERPTS FROM
RECENT REVIEWS
“….Henrion breaks down the
barriers between craft and art
by creating works that
transcend all such categories
by virtue of their sheer
aesthetic power……We must
approach Henrion’s quilts as
we would paintings or
sculpture, or else we do them
the serious disservice...
