\"ATM<\/a>

“ATM” Mixed media on board<\/p><\/div>\n

Born and raised in Lynn, he is a 1999 graduate of the Bradford College. He is a candidate for a MFA in painting from Howard University. For two years he was the visual arts coordinator for the West End House Boys\u2019 and Girls\u2019 Club in Allston.<\/p>\n

He recently had a solo exhibit titled \u201cROAM 2\u201d at the UGLY Gallery in New Bedford and participated in group exhibits in Brooklyn, NY, at the NYST Gallery, the PIPS Gallery, and the Exit Room. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

A former U.S. Marine, Henriquez is fluent in English, Spanish, Portuguese, and is currently studying French.<\/p>\n

He says he draws on the tags or graffiti, history, and colors he sees on the streets of the city to create his paintings. Mailboxes, street signs and ATM’s get hit most often which make them the most interesting.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m really a portrait artist of the mundane, but I look at the marks, history, and colors on a surface and I just see painting after painting,\u201d he says. \u201cThe millions of colors interact with drips and tags. Names get covered by stickers and writers saturate very square inch of space possible to make their marks more visible than the other. It’s like a battle.”<\/p>\n

This exhibit is sponsored by the Art & Design Dept. & the NECC Foundation. For additional information contact Patricia Kidney at pkidney@necc.mass.edu<\/a> or Marc Mannheimer at mmannheimer@necc.mass.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
