About the Artist
Tom Henderson studied with the world remounted ceramicist Gordon Baldwin and then specialised in sculpture at the university of Newcastle upon Tyne. He graduated with a BA in Fine Art in 1998. After a period in film, advertising and publishing in London he moved to Provence where he set up as a full-time artist. His work had been exhibited widely across Europe in individual and group shows, mostly in France, UK and Germany.
For many years now his art has explored the special relationships between physical flatness, spatial depth and audience interaction. He is intrigued how different combinations of objects and materials can necessitate an element of viewer participation, forcing them to actively participate in the artistic experience. In a way his compositions almost seem alive as they react to the shifting environment and natural variations of light. His art is both intellectually stimulating and pure aesthetic reduction and can be best described as poetic minimalism.
