Henry Folsom — Suspension of Disbelief
Henry Folsom

Suspension of Disbelief

2001

A powerful expressionistic portrait painted on individual wood slats arranged vertically and mounted in a riveted metal frame, creating a fragmented yet unified composition. The work exemplifies Folsom's signature technique of constructing paintings on separate wooden pieces that hang together to form a cohesive picture plane. The intense, visceral portrayal demonstrates the artist's characteristic approach of filling canvases with expressionistic energy and creating provocative characters that elicit strong emotional responses.
