The evening started at 276 Greenpoint Avenue on the 4th floor where the exhibit will call home until April 8th. The evening culminated with a dinner at Hendry&#8217;s studio.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So why should you make your way over to Greenpoint this weekend? Here are 3 reasons.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Instagrammable moments<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is an obvious one. From the ultimate selfie in a tub full of pink teddy bears to planning your #OOTD and whipping out your favorite monochrome outfits, Hendry managed to deliver a seven-room monochromatic home that is worthy of at least a few grams. Your photos are bound to be shared, liked and re-grammed. #instafamous<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-27438\" src=\"http:\/\/artzealous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/CJH_Monochrome_InstallationViews_032718_0054-e1522845350992.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"660\" height=\"440\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. It&#8217;s monochromatic and Pantone heaven<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Find yourself casually flipping through Pantone book? Yea, us too. Hendry allowed the viewer to\u00a0walk through seven distinct rooms, each room consisting of only one monochromatic color. You&#8217;ll start in the blue living room which opens up to a red dining room, followed by the green kitchen. You&#8217;ll journey onto a yellow bedroom, purple bathroom, orange office and lastly (and our favorite) the pink bedroom with a tub of pink teddy bears, pink clothes and yes, dildos.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-27439\" src=\"http:\/\/artzealous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/CJH_Monochrome_InstallationViews_032818_0929-e1522845592361.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"660\" height=\"440\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. She&#8217;s finally getting into color<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you follow Hendry&#8217;s work, you know that she has typically steered away from color.\u00a0\u201cI am new to color, not too sure if I understand it yet. Before, when I drew in black ink, all the focus was on the object because all the emotion of color was removed. Now I stare at my drawings and feel&#8230;just different I can\u2019t explain it.&#8221; She continued, \u201cColor is exciting and sad and frustrating and confusing. Color is all around us, it\u2019s everywhere. Color is not a physical thing, it\u2019s a thing that describes something else. By drawing crumpled colored cards, I have given color a physicality and form.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-27440\" src=\"http:\/\/artzealous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/CJH_Monochrome_InstallationViews_032818_0140-e1522846157402.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"658\" height=\"439\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>MONOCHROME is open to the public starting on Thursday, April 5 through Sunday, April 8\u00a0from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. at 276 Greenpoint Ave. in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.
