Untitled
On the Beach
Serpent

Desmond Paul Henry is an artist. 3 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Desmond Paul Henry made abstract drawings that look like tangled lines and shapes. In 1961 he drew On the Beach, a looping web of black marks that swirl across the page. Two years later Serpent followed, a tighter knot of lines that coils like a hidden creature.

His untitled 1964 work keeps the same wiry style, twisting and turning without a clear subject. See how these drawings feel alive with motion, even though they’re just ink on paper. Tap On the Beach to step into a tangle of lines.
