Bortolami is pleased to present a two-person exhibition with Lena Henke and Michael Craig-Martin in the Upstairs. Staged in a former loft converted into a gallery space, the show combines the interiors of home with the outside world.
In this unique pairing, the two artists’ off-kilter, vividly multi-colored sculptures and paintings offer imaginative approaches to quotidian household objects. Craig-Martin’s sleek acrylic paintings of idealized household sundries, fruit, and flora meet Henke’s miniaturized houses and ceramic lily pads, along with her rubber-coated, 3-D milled kitchen appliances.
