Henri Reed

Henri is a self-taught 16 year old art prodigy from LA that has been creating buzz across the country with collectors all around the world. When he was 14, Henri found an old wooden crate in the family’s garage and asked his father if he could use it. Before his parents returned from their dinner that evening, Henri had dismantled the crate and finished an original piece using materials from around the house. A local collector saw a photo of the piece and immediately commissioned Henri for a new piece for his own home. Within that month, Henri began selling artwork to collectors including Hollywood celebrities, music stars and business leaders. His early collectors dubbed him “Baby Basquiat” and demand for his art has continued to grow.
