Camille Henrot — Study for Bad Dad
Camille Henrot

Study for Bad Dad

2015

Two panels of loose, expressive watercolour capture a charged psychological tension, with fluid washes of colour building fragmented figurative forms that seem to dissolve and reform across the diptych's paired surfaces. Henrot's gestural mark-making carries an emotional rawness, the watery medium lending both vulnerability and instability to her exploration of familial dynamics and patriarchal authority.

Medium
watercolour on paper laid on board, diptych
