CJ Hendry: Creative Inspiration - MB111

Cj Hendry transforms her fascination with contemporary material culture into large
scale, photorealistic drawings of objects ranging from the ordinary to the aspirational.

With celebrity clientele and many works in private collections, there is a waitlist of over 3,000. Newcomers to her work can expect to wait up to 5 years to get their hands on a piece. All series over the past 2 years have sold out in under 10 minutes. Previous solo exhibitions in New York, Hong Kong, Miami, Sydney and Melbourne, have drawn crowds in the hundreds of thousands, with attendees waiting in line for several hours to step into the world of Cj Hendry and view her work.

A self-professed ""lover of products,"" Hendry is heir to the Pop Art tradition that brought depictions of everyday objects into the gallery and the museum. But whereas Pop artists were often known for sly, sarcastic critiques of mid century consumerist culture, Hendry gleefully embraces the capitalist ethos of our time.

Based in Sydney, Kris Andrew Small’s work is a joyful explosion of colour, typography, pattern, and collage. He often takes societal issues and channels them through loud and abstract visuals. That’s not to say his work is heavy, though, in fact, his portfolio is one of utter exuberance. This idiosyncratic merging of techniques and themes features on any number of mediums, from posters to campaigns, packaging, zines and everything in between, and has seen Kris collaborate with clients including Nike, Apple, Dazed, Die Zeit, Adidas Originals, It’s Nice That, Channel 4, WeTransfer, Reebok and more. He’s also exhibited internationally at institutions like the V&A in Dundee and MAD in The Lourve, Paris.
