BILL HENSON
Bill Henson (born 1955) is an Australian contemporary art photographer. Henson has exhibited nationally and internationally galleries such as the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, the Venice Biennale, the National Gallery of Victoria in Mebourne, Australia, the Art Gallery of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia and the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris. His current practice involves holding one exhibition in Australia every two years, and up to three overseas exhibitions each year.
The use of chiaroscuro is common throughout his works, through underexposure and adjustment in printing. His photographs’ use of bokeh is intended to give them a painterly atmosphere. The work is often presented as diptychs, triptychs and in other groupings, and the exhibitions are specifically curated by Henson to reflect a sense of musicality. Duality is a recurring theme of Henson’s work, often in combination with adolescent subjects. His works are often in the form of staged tableaux
in which faces of the subjects are often blurred or partly shadowed and do not directly face the viewer. Henson states that he is not interested in a political or sociological agenda. Through his photographs he explores the fleeting effects of light and shadow, the human form and architecture – subjects that have been the focus of his practice for over 30 years. Among international collections, Henson’s work is held in the Solomon R Guggenheim Museum, New York, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art,

When we talk to contemporary designers about inspiration, one name seems to crop up again and again. At just 27 years of age, New York designer Mario Hugo has already influenced a generation of young creatives with his strongly personal and artistic approach. Some of his best-loved work includes beautifully sketched elements in his hands, it’s almost as though a pencil can take a photograph. Elsewhere, he creates fascinating decorative type. Beyond pure talent, however, it’s clear in talking to Hugo that his rise to glory is down to hard work and loving what he does. We called on him to talk about his passion for being creative There’s a real kind of passion and love
Computer Arts: You're a designer, an art director and an illustrator. Does one of those occupations stand out as being your main focus? Mario Hugo: They all overlap. They are essentially the same thing to me. I've never been able to draw these distinctions, and I don't really care to; it feels very limiting to call yourself one thing or another. It's a very big world out there, you know. I don't think that going purely illustration or purely design or purely art direction does what a designer would really like to do any justice. [Those in] the emerging world of design would prefer to broaden their horizons and work in very different environments.
Aside from your own creative work, you’ve set up Hugo & Marie to represent other designers, and there’s even an online boutique selling their creations. What drew you into management? MH: A lot of people have their creative outlets like, for instance, Mike Perry is a good friend of mine and he creates all kinds of books about design. People keep their blogs and their Tumblrs; people are always sharing things that they love and admire. Hugo & Marie is very similar. It’s an idea of creating a small agency that represents talent, and presents the opportunity to combine efforts to bring larger projects to fruition,,or work individually.
