Like some paintings by Alex Grey, Henson‚s Astral Embrace (1978) and Illusion of Reality (1995) treat the emergence of the soul from the body, or the emergence of the spirit into a loftier realm. Yet, with the exception of Scarab (1982), a single early work clearly derivative of some of Rick Griffin‚s album covers for the Grateful Dead, Henson has relied on his personal vision rather than inspiration from other contemporary artists. Consequently, he has evolved a mature personal style that deserves broader scrutiny by the public. A majority of "New Age" visionary artists clutter their canvases with cosmic symbols recycled from the iconography of the world‚s various religions, both extant and extinct.
