LUX & NOX - Bill Henson
Internationally renowned photographer Bill Henson is a passionate and visionary explorer of twilight zones, between day and night, nature and civilization, youth and adulthood, man and woman.
Bill Henson's photographs of twilight landscapes, of industrial no-man's-land on the outskirts of our cities, of androgynous girls and boys adrift in the nocturnal turmoil of adolescence, are painterly tableaux that carry on the traditions of romantic literature and painting. The rich chiaroscuro, oscillating light and masterful composition of his photographs map enigmatic states that escape the iron grip of rationalism, providing an indispensable antidote to a culture that is increasingly lost in a numbing vortex of flashing screens and glittering surfaces.
