Carpio Studios

Is a Latino American artist working out of Lawrence MA, and his focus is on the many components that create the urban experience. He was born and raised in Lawrence, and draws his inspiration from observations within his community, using personal experience and perceptions of inner city life to address subjects that are consistent throughout urban communities in America. His interests include (but are not limited to) gender roles in Hispanic culture, post industrial decay and recovery, the development of young adults within urban communities, and the surreal qualities of the human experience. His works beckon viewers to question the security of his subjects, and the circumstances of their environment.

 

 Many of Henry’s works are mixed media, but he mostly works with large scale drawings and paintings. He works from direct observation and photographs, and aims to represent figures and environments in a state of uncertainty. This is consistent with many of his works which use the figure and landscape to activate discussions of belonging.
