The Foot That Moves the Pedal… is a month-long celebration in images of the diverse ways bikes are used globally. The exhibit brings together some of Henry’s favourite images of bicycles from North America and East Africa.
I came to know Henry last summer and have had the chance to know more about him and his work since. I like the way he is able to capture people and some really personal moments through his photography. According to soulfunkspecial.com, images of people are one of the most desirable types of image for the internet in particular and it’s hard to argue with that. But overall, his photographic work is pretty diverse. This lends itself perfectly for this upcoming exhibit.
His fascination with bikes has been a theme in his photography for some time. He shares, “Ever since I was a child watching my father bike to work each day, bikes have had a hold on my imagination… I indeed love how bikes are often both functional and graceful objects of style, and even art.”
The space provided by the Toronto Public Library makes this a good way to learn more from Henry himself, but also take a closer look at his work. He is really excited to share several new, previously unshown, photos at this exhibit. The images on display were captured while travelling in Santa Monica, Los Angeles, Toronto, Montreal, Paris and Rwanda over the span of a few years.
