About this artwork
My work explores female identity as a locus of strength within a world of fragmentation and complexity. The portrait-style faces in my paintings feature blurred and abstracted edges resolving into areas of tight detail, often with a direct gaze. By incorporating these two extremes of painting into a single work, I explore the female psyche as both direct and fluid, and composed of strength and decisiveness as well as grace. By focusing on the face…
of my subjects only, I explore the female as a psychological, intellectual and emotional entity, rather than a body or object.
."Dissolving" is painted on canvas, with all hanging hardware included. It is very light for its size. The edges are painted in the same color of blue/grey as the background of the work.

« What stories and emotional complexities are hidden in the human face? What past histories, fears, and hopes are buried in a quick glance or in the depths of the eyes? »
Charity Henderson is an experienced painter and draftsman from the United States. Henderson creates figurative portraits executed on translucent materials such as mylar, denril, and dura-lar. She often works by applying charcoal, graphite, or colored pencil on one side of the canvas and applying oil paint on the other. When the face is fully painted, she scrapes away and blurs sections of the portrait, partially revealing the drawn face on the other side of the sheet.
