| Ever
since Lucio Fontana first sliced through canvas, the relationship between
the surface of a painting and what lies beneath has been open for examination.
Tom Henderson's latest exhibition continues his own exploration of the relationship between the surface of a work of art and the object that supports it. His new works are a subtle combination of painting and sculpture that use light and colour to transcend disciplines. |
Through complex construction processes and the use of diverse materials like acrylic panels, paint, resin and rubber, the work expands two-dimensional surfaces into three-dimensional space. Each panel's multi-layered picture plane sits delicately between the perceived, the transparent and the opaque, challenging the viewer's ability to deduce the spatial arrangements, demanding a scrutiny that would usually be reserved for freestanding sculpture. Tom Henderson studied Fine Art at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne from 1994 - 1998. Since then he has worked in TV, film and most recently publishing, amongst other. |
