Henrik Potter

Henrik Potter is a Swiss-born artist based in London, known for his paintings, drawings, and screen-like installations. His practice is concerned with the emotive qualities of art and its ability to act as a surrogate for the human body. Potter's works often have a tangible, object-like quality to them, and they act as active agents of communication and embodiment of experiences.

Potter received his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Central St. Martins in London in 2006 and his Master of Fine Arts degree from the Royal College of Art in London in 2011. He has exhibited his works widely, both in solo and group shows. In 2019, his solo shows included "Heads" at Lucas Hirsch in Düsseldorf, Germany, "Daydreaming" at Sundy in London, UK, and "Heedless Sleep" at Künstlerhaus Stuttgart in Stuttgart, Germany. In 2020, he exhibited at the group show "after image" at Mamoth in London, UK.

Potter has received several awards for his work, including the Prix spécial du Jury at the 57th Salon de Montrouge in 2012, which was chaired by Jan Hoet. In 2022, he has upcoming exhibitions at Lucas Hirsch in Düsseldorf for "Vier Gedanken" and at Mum's House in London for "The House That Mum Built." Additionally, he will participate in "Sour Well" at Nir Altman in Munich.
