HIGH ART 2020 SPOTLIGHT: HENRY BLOUNT
“Some Turtles Just Want to Watch the World Burn”
Henry Blount is a low brow, wild life painter. Primarily works with acrylic on canvas. He paints landscapes that only exist in the imagination and are the habitat to many unusual creatures. He also sculpts and writes poetry. His work can be seen on the cover of Torosiete Magazine and in many private and public collections. He grew up in the mountains of Southern Colorado and studied art at Adams State University. His art is a reaction to the work he was surrounded by as a child. He continues to work in his hometown where he raises his small family.
He entered “Some Turtles Just Want to Watch the World Burn” during High Art 2020.
