SELF CARE Acrylic & Collage on Canvas | 48" × 42" | 2023 A collaborative work by Claire Price & Troy Henriksen
Just give me some amazing.
Self Care is a collaborative painting made in a Brooklyn studio by two painters who met in Paris and have been in conversation ever since — Claire Price and Troy Henriksen, internationally recognised American painter and art world figure, working on the same canvas with the particular creative abandon that only genuine friendship and genuine trust makes possible.
The result is exactly what two serious painters with serious humour and serious things to say about contemporary life produce when they stop being careful — a large, loud, completely alive canvas that is simultaneously funny and dark and visually relentless and oddly, deeply true.
An anatomical tooth dominates the left — cross-sectioned, clinical, rendered with the graphic confidence of a medical diagram that has wandered into the wrong painting and decided to stay. Beside it a figure stands with their back to you against a ground of orange and red fire, a brain floating nearby, the word WOW arriving in a comic book explosion that means everything and nothing simultaneously. SELF CARE is bannered across the lower canvas in the tone of a wellness brand that has looked directly at the void and kept smiling. Just give me some amazing. Too much. D much. ABC. The numbers running down the left side like a checklist for a body that is doing its best.
The painting is Basquiat-adjacent in its visual language — text, anatomy, urban energy, the body as subject and site simultaneously — filtered through two painters who lived in Paris and ended up in Brooklyn and find the whole thing genuinely, darkly hilarious.
The collaboration is documented in studio video footage of both artists working on the canvas together — available to the purchasing collector on request.
