Henri

This artist does not currently have a bio in our system.

The idea of community, gathering and comfort is at the heart of Craig Le Blanc’s sculptural installation, Henri . A sleeping cat is quietly and securely curled in a net, suspended above a community gathering space as a representation of an idyllic environment with suggestions of safekeeping, home and comfort. In time Henri may become an intimate part of the neighbourhood landscape, and a familiar component of personal, family and community activities. Henri was recognized by the Public Art Network and was selected for inclusion in the Public Art Network’s 2011 Year in Review. Much of Calgary-based artist Craig Le Blanc’s work involves re-creating familiar objects that convey a simple or singular narrative. His technical and refined works are representations of concepts relating to gender, identity and place.
