At Moco Museum Barcelona, visitors can encounter Hendry’s monumental sculpture Juju, a playful work that brings everyday imagery to life through contemporary character design.
CJ Hendry’s Signature Style
Hendry’s practice began with meticulous black ink and coloured pencil drawings, developing a precise technique that allows her to produce hyper-photorealistic compositions of objects ranging from luxury accessories to flowers and everyday items. Often executed on a large scale, her works can take hundreds of hours to complete. Inspired by material culture, she often embraces, rather than critiques, consumer objects, transforming items such as sneakers, sunglasses or plastic bags into highly detailed images that shift between humour and visual seduction.
Crossing Creative Boundaries
Her collaborations with fashion and design brands mark important milestones in her artistic evolution, showcasing her willingness to experiment with new materials and approaches. Over time, Hendry has expanded her practice into immersive, conceptual spaces, inviting audiences to interact physically with the worlds she creates and to experience ordinary objects through heightened scale and imagination.
Shows like Flower Market, which featured tens of thousands of plush flowers in a greenhouse‑like setting, attracted long lines of visitors; other projects have included inflated bouncing castles and giant interactive installations tied to themes of nostalgia and consumer identity, as well as site-specific exhibitions such as her Epilogue show in an East London church, where millions of paper petals fell from the ceiling. These large‑scale presentations reflect her belief that art can be both visually captivating and socially engaging.
