Internationally renowned photographer Bill Henson is a passionate and visionary explorer of the twilight zones between day and night, nature and civilization, youth and adulthood, and men and women.
Bill Henson’s photographs of twilight landscapes, of the industrial no man’s land on the outskirts of our cities, and of androgynous girls and boys adrift in the nocturnal turmoil of adolescence are pictorial tableaux that carry on the traditions of Romantic literature and painting. The rich chiaroscuro, the shifting light, and the masterful composition of his photographs map out enigmatic states that elude the iron grip of rationalism, providing an indispensable antidote to a culture that is increasingly losing itself in a numbing vortex of flashing screens and glittering surfaces.
