Mike Henderson
Haines Gallery is pleased to present new work by pioneering Bay Area artist Mike Henderson, who has exhibited with the gallery for over twenty years. Through his highly gestural and tactile paintings, Henderson reveals a palpable connection to post-war abstraction, coupled with a defining instinct for improvisation. With a growing distinction between figure and ground, surprising colors and nested forms, these paintings signify a new direction for the artist. Traces of Places alludes not only to the works鈥� subtle evocations, but also to Henderson鈥檚 underlying inspiration: his lived experience, those moments that 鈥渟tick in your retinas,鈥� according to the artist. He conjures conversations he has had, sounds he has heard and places he has visited 鈥� manifesting these experiences through texture, form and color.
