exhibition · 2026-08-09

Cj Hendry's latest exhibition, 'Pastel,' is currently on display at Salon 94 Design in New York, transforming the space into an engaging setting adorned with pastel-hued beads. A prominent feature of the show is a large interactive installation where attendees can dive into a bead pit to create their own bracelets, necklaces, or charms. Additionally, the exhibition showcases drawings, editions, and various merchandise, including caps, T-shirts, jewelry trunks, leather trays, and acrylic keyrings. Notable characters like Juju and Balloon Dog accompany Hendry's iconic flowers and smiley faces. Running from August 6 to August 16, 2026, at 3 East 89th Street, this collaboration bridges Hendry's independent approach with the traditional gallery framework, facilitated by art market expert Magnus Resch.
