About Henry Bermudez
An American contemporary artist born in Venezuela, Henry Bermudez emerged from the Caribbean tropics and immigrated to the USA in 2003 due to political upheaval in his country. His artistic life has been an unexpected intermingling of ideas informed by an acute sensitivity to the past, and stenciled as part of apersonal inventory onto places where he has lived and made his artistic working territory.
Embracing a hybrid of myths, symbols and religious lore from pre-Hispanic Judeo-Christian and Afro-Caribbean influences, his compendium of aesthetics reflect his vision of art beyond Western tradition. Through various processes and mediums [paint, glitter, cardboard, fabric, cut paper assemblage, and ink], his work transcends timelines and national boundaries as he combines magical dimensions of symbols with western rationality. This blend of cultural diversities is his autobiographical vision that further defines itself through immersion into societies other that the one he was born into.
