Marc Henry
Tender Offer 29 Mar - 5 May 2023 Marc Henry’s work distinguishes itself through a characteristically figurative style, drawing on elements of realism and estranging them through presented subject matters and painterly execution.

The concept of reality and its prerogative of interpretation in the context of our post-factual age along side digital image manipulation are of great interest for the artist.
His work has been shown at Kölner Liste, MMIII Kunstverein Mönchengladbach, Schloßmuseum Murnau, Kunsthalle Oktogon and Palais Rasumofsky amongst others.
