Gérard Henry

A black ink pen and paper always at hand, Gérard Henry quietly explores Hong Kong to capture the essence of the city in his intricate, delicate, and highly detailed drawings. Through his compositions he offers us a vision of the city that is thoughtful, romantic, and poetic—timeless images, that will resonate with anyone who loves Hong Kong.As a writer and an art critic publishing and editing magazines, books, as well as chronicles for the radio, Henry extensively documented the arts and culture of Hong Kong. He did not intend to become an artist himself. Henry started to draw to relax, as a form of meditation. But sketching quickly became a daily ritual in his life—an avid stroller and keen observer, he began to fill his notebooks with illustrated and written reflexions, musings, and contemplations. His images complement his writing to archive a place that runs deep in his veins.Gérard Henry offers us different perspectives of the city and sheds some light on small details that elude city dwellers that are always in a rush. They reflect his connection to the city as well as his involvement in the art scene—a real testament to his deep affection for Hong Kong.
