Juan Henriquez

Juan Henriquez was born in Maracaibo, Venezuela, and lives and works in Miami, Florida. Henriquez is a painter creating a gestural and visceral narrative of his daily life and his immediate pleasure by coupling and shaping expressive graphic choreographies on canvas about his idea of the world around him. Color adds sound and creates graphical situations in which he immerses himself expecting a more narrative than aesthetic result. Selected Solo exhibitions include ‘Version del Codo’ (2021), Coral Gables Museum, Coral Gables, Florida and ‘Mapa Histérico’ (2021), Laundromat Art Space, Miami, Florida, and ‘Gozo Solo’ (2016), Contemporary Art Museum of Zulia, Maracaibo, Venezuela.
