Coptix Exhibits Work of John Henry on New Website
Today, John Henry Sculptor, Inc. announces the launch of their new website. The site was developed by Chattanooga integrated design firm Coptix Inc., and features the work of world renowned sculptor John Henry.
John Henry is known both nationally and internationally for his public works of art, sculpture in a trademark style of large scale, geometric forms. In addition to three installations in Chattanooga, his sculptures are collected and exhibited on five continents, with upcoming shows in London, Paris, Venice, and throughout the United States. Earlier this year, one of his large scale works was sold by Christie's auction house in Vancouver, for $1 million USD.
The style, scope and purity of Henry's work called for a web presence that is simple and strong, yet user-friendly enough to be accessible to art lovers of varying levels of internet experience. John Henry Sculptor, Inc. contracted Coptix to design and build a site that promotes not only the artwork, but also the John Henry brand and visual language.
The website, JohnHenrySculptor.com, has a high quality design and is simultaneously easy to navigate. Features of the site include biographical information about the artist, exhibition and gallery listings, news and media clippings. A portfolio of works categorizes recent and archive works by scale, using simple sliders to allow site visitors to browse images, then click each to enlarge.
"Having a visually interesting website that is easy to navigate has become essential in todays art market," said John Henry. "It saves my office a great deal of time as we refer clients, galleries, museums and even students to the site. We can be on the phone with a collector and simultaneously looking at the same sculpture - so much more immediate than sending out pictures. Our website is a great tool and Coptix created a site for us that we can easily update as the need arises."
