CARL HENRY STUDIO

Carl Henry is a creative identity exploring the intersection of contemporary art, spatial design and emotional resonance. Operating through Carl Henry Studio, the practice creates works that bring depth, energy and atmosphere to the environments they inhabit.

The studio draws from abstract expression, modern minimalism and a sensitivity to how colour and form shape mood. Each artwork is conceived as an extension of its setting, designed to transform interiors with presence and intention.
Carl Henry’s work is defined by layered compositions, tactile surfaces and a quiet sophistication aligned with modern architectural aesthetics. The practice evolves through ongoing experimentation and dialogue between visual art and the built environment, offering collectors distinctive works that invite personal interpretation and emotional connection.

Crunch Time presents three-dimensional wall works that blur the boundary between painting and sculpture. Each piece appears scrunched or folded, arresting a moment of movement in a fixed, deliberate form. What seems soft is solid, creating tension between expectation and reality. The series explores how perception shapes assumption and meaning by occupying the threshold where image becomes object and object becomes illusion. Viewers are prompted to reconsider what a painting can be, and how we navigate the space between what is seen and what is believed.

PROJECTION ART SERIES:
Deviations, single-channel video, 2021.”
CALLUM MCGRATH

In celebration of Melbourne’s Midsumma Festival, Chin Chin presents a special edition of our Projection Art Series: this month features Callum McGrath’s Deviations (2021), a collaborative video that celebrates the importance of queer subcultural spaces operating outside the hegemonic structures of daily life. The work was originally produced for installation in Brisbane’s Fortitude Valley, a site where queer spaces have been carved out over decades. From nightclubs and sex clubs to art spaces, community centres, HIV/AIDS clinics, pride events and activist meetings, the Valley has long played a pivotal role in Brisbane’s queer history.

The Valley has also been an inherently dangerous space, where queer communities are vulnerable to discrimination, violence, policing, and at times, murder. Deviations offers an inclusive vision of queer subculture in Brisbane and beyond, shaped through community contribution. The footage, gathered through community submissions, functioned in 2021 as a temporary monument to queer party, reflecting social structures that exist off the record.
Callum McGrath is a Meanjin/Brisbane-born research artist based in Naarm/Melbourne whose practice explores relationships between historicisation and systems of power in queer contexts. His work interrogates how dominant structures dictate the preservation and reproduction of historical data, driven by an ongoing questioning of truth and conditions of knowledge. McGrath has exhibited widely across Australia, with recent projects at the Art Gallery of South Australia, La Trobe Art Institute, MADA Gallery, UNSW Galleries and Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art.
In 2025, McGrath co-curated You Are Here Too at the Institute of Modern Art, Brisbane, alongside an accompanying publication. He is a founding contributor to KINK, a collective dedicated to researching histories of queer Australian art. In 2024, McGrath completed his PhD at Monash Art Design and Architecture, Monash University.
