Lucas Henderson

Lucas Henderson is an artist from Knoxville Tennessee.  His work has a lot to do with tension and the body and how the two interact. from his art you can tell that he is pushing the limits of the human body and the tensions that those limits form with the body.   Although he claims to be a sculptor, he is more of a performance/mixed media artist in my opinion.  Having worked with him doing the video work for two of his performances, and collaborating a show with him and others I appreciate his work ethic and what he puts into his art.  I definitely feel like his performances are his strength and they are very intriguing to watch and experience.  However i regret the fact that we aren't able to experience his thought process and the actual event while it is taking place, when creating these works of art.  instead we have to be content with watching a documentation of the performance pieces.  at his website you can look at his sketches, as well as his sculpture/performance/mixed media pieces.  In addition to sculpture, he does photography as well.  check his stuff out, it is worth your time.
