NADA Miami 2021
December 1 - 4, 2021

Booth 5.09
Ice Palace Studios
Miami, Florida

Henri Paul Broyard Broyard (b.1989, Los Angeles) makes paintings that examine perceptions of interior domestic spaces and the rich histories contained in the places we inhabit. His work is informed by a combination of his own images, collected photos and personal memories from his upbringing in South Central, Los Angeles and daily encounters with urban marks in New York. He reckons with ideas of permanence and impermanence as they relate to interior spaces. Devoid of figures, Broyard’s paintings are portraits of domestic life. 

For his NADA Miami presentation with Saint George Projects, Broyard has created new paintings that depict real and imagined spaces, however he edits these environments to focus on moments of obstruction. A lamp blocks out the bottom corner of a painting in his friend’s apartment. A potted plant interrupts the pattern on a tablecloth in his home. The house number of his childhood home —  6132 — sits on a shelf like a sculpture. Broyard obsesses over these visual moments that skew our perceptions and influence our memories of the places we inhabit.

Broyard received a B.F.A. in Drawing and Painting from the California College of the Arts in 2013. He attended the Klasse Peter Doig at the Kunstakademie, Dusseldorf, in 2014. His work has shown in exhibitions at galleries including: Grant Wahlquist Gallery, Portland, Maine; Alexander Gray Gallery, New York and Germantown; Essex Flowers, New York; SOLA Art Gallery, Los Angeles; the School of Painting Hangzhou, China; and Tom Dick or Harry, Dusseldorf amongst others. His work has been the subject of reviews and publications in ArtNews and The Rib. Broyard lives and works in Caanan and Brooklyn, New York.
