About the Item
Blue (Abstract painting)
Oil Paint on reflective cast acrylic - Unframed.
This work is part of a series titled "Flatland" paintings. They are works that consist of seemingly random squares on a painted surface that reflect the three-dimensional world beyond the painting’s immediate environment.
The squares themselves are fashioned by a process of finding regular squares within the fluid lines of a freehand grid that run through the textured paintwork. If chance allows four lines to intersect to create a square, the oil paint is removed from this area of the surface to reveal individual, seemingly disconnected, reflections. The arrangement and number of these squares is determined purely by the process itself. In other words, the process takes editorial control of the painting’s distinctive features without any input from the artist.
A 3mm sheet of plexiglas is mounted on a painting stretcher using industrial double sided VHB tape. The frame is 18mm thick and is made of aluminium and wood. This frame slots onto a wall fixture for easy installation.

Tom Henderson
Tom Henderson creates reductive, geometric image-objects that exist at a liminal intersection between painting and sculpture. Born in the UK, Henderson currently lives and works in Provence, in the South of France. After studying with renowned ceramicist Gordon Baldwin at Eton College, Henderson earned his BFA in Fine Art with an emphasis in sculpture from University of Newcastle upon Tyne in 1998. Henderson has exhibited extensively throughout Europe and the UK, with selected exhibitions in the US and Mexico. Recent exhibitions include The Observance Chapel, Draguignan, France; Château Thuerry, Provence, France; Bethlehem Kirche, Meerbusch, Germany; and Museo de Arte Contemporaneo de Tamaulipas, Mexico City. The simplest reading of Henderson’s work is that he is a painter with the sensibility of a sculptor and that his works are hung flat on a wall. His works are never fully flat, however, and they are more architectonic than pictorial. Their three-dimensional presence activates the surrounding spaces, demanding mobility from the viewer to fully experience the work. Henderson incorporates a wide range of mediums into his practice, centering on commercial materials such as cast acrylic, aluminum, spray paint, and automotive paint. The sleek, vivid, industrial presence of such materials instantly evokes the legacy of Minimalist artists like Donald Judd. However, unlike Minimalists who hid the hand and personality of the artist in favour of creating an impersonal material statement of reduction and form, Henderson enthusiastically makes work that instigates personal connections with viewers.
