Bio
"Screen printing is my favourite medium for expression. It is, for me, an experimentation of texture. Ornamentation has never been central to my work. When I use a pattern, it has to be active. Whether it is geometric or organic, it is a force of metamorphosis: it structures the fabric, and modifies its gravity, its drape."
For Daniel Henry, what accounts for the success of a piece, is the choice of an adequate base. He makes his selection with no reservations, whether its velvet, latex, natural linen, silk chiffon, straw or even radiator insulation foil. The combinations of techniques are the crux of the art. Screen prints can be followed or preceded by three types of finishing (physical, thermal or chemical), to modify their visual and/or tactile aspect.
Since it was launched in 2000, Daniel Henry Studio has worked internationally, with a wide range of applications (textile industry, prêt-à-porter, haute-couture, decoration, wall coverings, costumes, graphic arts). The studio has acquired a high level of expertise in the design and production of unique and original projects.
