In Conversation with Bill Henson

Iconic Australian contemporary art photographer Bill Henson will be the featured guest at The Greenery Garden and Home’s ‘In Conversation’ event on Wednesday, February 8, 2023.

Henson, who is back in Australia after the launch of his latest book Paris Opera in Paris, will talk travel and art and his passion for gardening.

‘In Conversation’ is a Q&A style event held by The Greenery Garden and Home on the second Wednesday of every month. The event features artists and inspirational creatives within the community. It starts at 6pm with drinks, a live interview from 6.30pm to 7pm followed by finger food and drinks, where you can meet the interviewee. The February event is a rare opportunity to hear and meet one of Australia’s most enigmatic and iconic artists, Bill Henson, who is known to be a generous, engaging and thoughtful speaker.

About Bill Henson:

Henson’s photographic works are distinguished by a Caravaggio-like use of chiaroscuro that he creates with carefully positioned lighting and techniques such as bokeh blurring, flattened perspectives and underexposed negatives. He has exhibited in major Australian and international galleries such as Guggenheim Museum in New York, the Venice Biennale, the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, The National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne, and the Art Gallery of New South Wales in Sydney. Henson’s photographs are held in many international private and corporate collections, as well as the public collections of the Guggenheim, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, as well as the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
