Tag: Cj Hendry

CJ Hendry (b. 1988, Australia) is known for her hyper-detailed, photoreal drawings that turn everyday objects into seductive, sculptural icons. Working primarily in pencil, pen and marker, she renders materials—latex, leather, glass, fabric—with extreme precision, pushing representation to a point where texture becomes almost tactile. Her works often expand into immersive installations that blur fine art, design and spectacle, transforming exhibition spaces into meticulously staged environments.

Hendry’s practice thrives on the tension between discipline and play: rigorous, hours-long drawing processes animated by bold, often irreverent subjects pulled from luxury culture, consumerism and the mythologies of taste. Through scale, surface and an intuitive sense of drama, she reimagines the familiar as something heightened and uncanny, inviting viewers into a world where detail becomes its own form of excess.
