Henry Glover (b.1997, United Kingdom) creates phantasmic work circling the medieval, folklore and myth transforming it into our contemporary times. Finding revelations through the process of making, Glover works in a cyclical manner between oil paintings and ceramics. There is a sense of catharsis in the work, Glover reflects on the human condition often elevating everyday situations into grander dramatic contexts of tragedy and heroism often quoting remembered conversations or lyrics from songs in the works titles.

 

Glover studied BA Fine Art: Painting at Wimbledon College of Art (2017-2020) and a Foundation Diploma at Oxford Brookes University (2016-2017). Glover won the 'Saatchi Art Rising Stars Award' (2020) and has been actively exhibiting since both group and solo shows.

 

Recent exhibitions include 'Sweet Nothing', Bye Bye Gallery, London (2024), 'My soul hurts and I think i've got tinnitus' (Curator), Calcio Gallery, London (2024), 'Checkmate' OHSH Projects, London (2023), 'I Maschi', C.G. Williams, Siena (2023), 'Love Diamond' (Curator), hArts Lane, London (2022), 'The Knight's Tour' (Solo), Grove Gallery, Berlin (2022), 'Take Me Somewhere Nice' (Solo), Liliya Art Gallery, London (2021).
