Henry Krokatsis

Born 1965, UK



Henry Krokatsis works with a wide range of materials – smoke, found wood, broken glass, antique mirrors, etc. - giving each of his works a unique expression. There seems to be something the works all hold in common though, an attempt to convey an atmosphere, a feeling of something intentionally unspecific, uncanny. The elaborate nature of the labour involved hints at an obsessive behaviour that is quietly unsettling, this in contrast to the seductive craftsmanship and unexpected warmth of the materials in their new context.
