## Eric McHenry: Fear of the Fiddle at Half Gallery, NYC

Comprised of small-scale still-lifes and figurative subjects in almost equal parts, Eric McHenry’s recent solo show presents less of a divide but more of a continuum between the two genres. Situated at one end of the figure/object spectrum, Winter Lady exemplifies the most conventional approach McHenry takes towards an individual.
