According to artist Mike Henderson, art flows freely through him.
“You don’t know if [the art is] good or bad,” he told Black Camera in a 2015 interview, “just that you have to do it and trust what comes through to you.” His 1966 painting The Scream transmutes his feelings of anger and confusion into an urgent statement on the human condition that is difficult to overlook. In our latest blog post, Henderson describes the visceral feelings that inspired this bold work and the implications it carries for today.
