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).
