Canopy Mentor Delphine Hennelly
Delphine Hennelly (b.1979) is a painter and drawer. Her practice addresses the plurality of identity with notions of theatre, pattern, repetition, uncanny color palettes, and satire. Using anachronistic timelines, her paintings allude to both what is temporal and enduring, conjuring the notion of an omnipresent event. Hennelly represents archetypal subjects and relationships as a method to depict social patterns, performativity, and constructions of the self, removing such notions from any clear biography while pushing the boundaries of each archetype to subvert their fixity and activate their fluidity. Her work is particularly inspired by gender and feminist theories, tapestries, art history, and early Modernism. Hennelly has exhibited internationally, including recent presentations with CARVALHO PARK (New York), Cassina Projects (Milan), and Huxley-Parlour (London) and she is a three-time recipient of The Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation Award. Hennelly is represented by Pangée (Montréal) and CARVALHO PARK (New York).
Cohort Exhibition
Each Canopy Cohort presents a culminating pop-up group exhibition.
Permission, Slip
Canopy Studio, 508 W. 26th St. #6E
July 10-12, 2025
Permission, Slip is a pop-up Group Exhibition celebrating the work of 10 artists who worked together for one year with their Canopy Mentor, Delphine Hennelly, as part of the 2024-2025 Canopy Program. Through the interplay of color and gesture, and the evocation of memories and fleeting moments, Permission, Slip features the work of ten artists exploring notions of identity, permission, and connection. Oscillating between landscape and interior, figuration and abstraction, this exhibition consists of over thirty pieces created during the Canopy Program.
