In one of the last A Portfolio posts of 2023, we take a look at NYC-based Henry Glavin. His show, A Grid and a Shadow, at Halsey McKay Gallery in East Hampton, was a standout, and we love his use of shadows and the absence of people in each work.
Henry Glavin was born in 1991 in New York City, NY, and lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. He earned his MFA from Hunter College in New York City, NY, in 2023 and his BFA in Painting and Ceramics from Alfred University in Alfred, NY, in 2014, where he was granted the Outstanding BFA Thesis Award, The Daniel Joseph Murphy II Memorial Award, and the Fred H. Wertz Award for writing. Glavin received a St. Botolph Club Foundation Emerging Artist Award as well as a Vermont Studio Center residency. His work was included in the exhibition In My Room: Artists Paint the Interior 1950-Now at The Fralin Museum of Art at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, VA. A Grid and A Shadow is Glavin’s third solo exhibition with Halsey McKay Gallery.
