As a figure painter, Robert Henry is most interested in groups of figures in relation to one another and how they interact. He explores the possibilities through drawing. Art critic April Kingsley said in The Village Voice, "Henry-watching is always a fascinating activity." And Henry himself has said, while acknowledging that he knows a consistent signature style is good for the business of art, "I hate to repeat myself." Every season brings a new Robert Henry adventure. Within each series, details mutate slightly from scene to scene, suggesting a linked narrative, time passing as he moves from one medium to another, one idea to another.
