Embarkation for Cythera - Bill Henson, 2018

Bill Henson has titled his work Embarkation for Cythera after a romantic painting by Jean-Antoine Watteau which shows couples visiting Cythera, the home of Aphrodite, goddess of love. Watteau’s young couples are transformed and enchanted by love, and it is a similar intensity of feeling and intimate connection we too experience when we engage with great art.

The gallery, Henson’s work suggests, is a place that enables profound and deep connections with art – connections that can give us all, regardless of who we are, a sense of continuity, history and humanity.
