“Beauty has something very familiar, yet very remote as though it could never have been familiar. It can’t be loved, but you can long for it. It is richer in the mysterious ways of remoteness than anything you have within yourself.”
— Elias Canetti






Acclaimed Australian photographer Bill Henson uses chiaroscuro and a limited palette to translate the intimacy of the everyday into attention-grabbing artworks. From suburbia to semi-naked portraiture, he brings a dreamlike aesthetic to his carefully thought-out practice.

Established in Sydney by influential Australian art dealer and gallerist Roslyn Oxley and her husband Tony Oxley in 1982, Roslyn Oxley9 Gallery is one of Australia’s leading commercial galleries.
