No matter which city he visits in the world, artist Thomas Henriot often finds himself being the centre of attention. As has been the tradition for three years, Henriot selects a location that catches his fancy, arrives with a backpack filled with oddly-sized papers, places them on the floor and replicates the landscape in front of him. What ensues is hours of frenzied painting. "There have been times when I’ve painted for 10 hours straight. I’ve always liked to sit on the floor and paint. It’s like meditation," he says, adding that staring doesn’t bother him.
