CJ Hendry is known for his work in hyperrealistic depictions of sneakers and luxury objects, from the [Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-and-nike) Air MAG to the [PUMA Clyde](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/noir-kei-ninomiya-x-puma). CJ Hendry spoke about his art exhibition, saying: "Plaid encourages the viewer to connect with the inner child and experience the simplicity of joy before growing up and feeling the burden of adulthood." The art exhibition contains a two-story 5,000 square-foot space filled with colorful beams and plaid patterns. The art exhibition is inspired by the design of public parks, which merges the playground concept in a public park with art sculptures. The art exhibition also contains 24 original artworks that CJ Hendry created to complement the colorful beams that also act as a guide to visitors across the space. The art exhibition will be on view in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, from April 17 to 23.
