The Other Side of the Line is the first London retrospective for Bill Henderson. This exhibition of his work at The Bankside Gallery displays both large canvases and smaller works on paper made from the late seventies through to the present day.
The exhibition begins with a series of large scale abstract paintings from the late 1970s. Multicoloured bands of paint characterise these early works, with more shapes and motifs added as the works evolved in the 80s and 90s. In more recent paintings, from 2007 onwards, the polychrome bars have been replaced by painted lines creating paintings of ever greater complexity.
