Cyril Henry
Born in 1984 (Ontario, Canada)
Cyril Henry, a member of the Onondaga Nation’s deer clan and originally from the Six Nations, embarked on his artistic journey at the tender age of 11. He attributes his mastery of sculpture to the tutelage of his parents: his mother, Eunice Henry, and his father, Vince Bomberry -, a highly respected sculptor with an impressive portfolio featured in esteemed museums and institutions.
With a keen eye for detail and an innate talent for sculpting, Cyril’s work has garnered widespread acclaim and is sought after by collectors across Canada and the United States. His sculptures are not only prized for their aesthetic appeal but also for their cultural significance, representing the rich heritage of the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) people.
Cyril’s commitment to excellence is evident in every aspect of his work, from the meticulous attention to detail to the impeccable finish of each piece. His sculptures often reflect themes deeply rooted in Haudenosaunee traditions, showcasing symbols and motifs that have been passed down through generations.
In 2018, Cyril’s talent was showcased in the prestigious ‘People of the Land’ art show at the Gibson Arts & Cultural Centre, where his sculptures captivated audiences with their beauty and craftsmanship. Subsequently, in 2020, his pieces were prominently featured in The Inuit Art Gallery of Vancouver’s ‘From the Land’ exhibition, further solidifying his reputation as a leading figure in Indigenous art.
