Innovative Proposal

Technology-driven works of art and on-line sales have undoubtedly been a useful support for emerging artists.

Still, Helen Arts-Gallery deems it necessary today to have an evolution of style and content in order to offer the public a better understanding of its proposals and a broad support of the artists it shows.

The range of styles, compositions, materials used, objects that are born from impulses, indefinable stories but which exalt the liberty of the artistic gesture, can capture the eye and satisfy the expectations of the visitor/discoverer of new figurations.

The new site introduces an unedited concept of thematic “exhibition” to the attention of galleries and institutions so that the creations of the artists can go beyond a two-dimensional space and be realized.

The advantages for the gallery owners who are interested in a “different” contemporary art form of these projects are tangible: to host the selected works in their headquarters with a minimum financial commitment, without the obligation of a preventative purchase and the recognition of the economical benefit in case of a sale.

The images displayed for each exhibition project are only those essential to illustrate the theme. For more information or requests please contact:

ONE MAN'S TRASH IS ANOTHER MAN'S TREASURE

A lot has been written about the “ready made”, and there have been a lot of questions about its definition as art, about the role of the artist who didn’t make the object but who has appropriated it by signing it.

Paolo Stefani has turned the concept on its head by making a “re-made”, that is the transformation of an industrial product, a piece of junk, into an original, unique work. Integrating painting and extraneous materials, his compositions become sculptures or insert themselves into the frame or the canvas. Closets and doors, objects of daily life, poor materials speak of the banalization of the consumer society but also of the hidden beauty that everything contains.

The artist began in 2011 the journey of reformulation of “ruins” by presenting in Berlin some of his work, here reproposed, accompanied by text or formulae.
“Ruins comes from the conviction that man is the subject/creator of evolution, wellbeing and wealth." stigmatization of the lack of humility in respect to the perfection and greatness of nature.
“Ruins refers to nuclear waste, arms, excessive consumer goods that end up in the dump and private merchandise with economic value derived from the system and therefore eliminated”.

Ruins/objects of art by Paolo Stefani become the occasion for the project of an unusual solo show, if not in the concept, certainly in the extravagant, genial re-elaboration of the artist.

Besides the proposal illustrated here, two executive projects which use the technology of video-installations to show in situ, or on photographic supports in a show room, the digital works of Paolo Stefani, should be pointed out.

exhibition project: glass sculpture

FUSED BY FIRE

Manuel Lagoa uses materials that come from fire for his sculptures/architectures: metal and glass. Perhaps he read the description of the glass furnaces from Ninive’s tablets, or the description of the poet Mesomede “It is a marvel for men to see the river of melted glass flow from the fire.”

 

For sure Manuel renews the miracle of the fusion of minerals and metal in his atelier and invents a marvelous juxtaposition of lightness and weight.

The selection of the works proposed here introduces the artistic-philosophical theme that is the most dear to him, characterized by metaphysical suggestions: to bring together elements that are apparently far apart, with the understanding that doing this shows the inconsistence of apparent realities.

The project "Marte e i suoi canali " conceived as a recognition of the intuition of Giovanni Schiapparelli elaborated in 1877, is also worth to be pointed out. Part of it was exhibited in Venice in 2017.

FRAGMENTS AND SHAPES

The grammar of Toribio Sosa’s sculptures is written with an essential graphic sign that he imprints on discarded objects, slabs or “telones” collected from his architect/builder workshop, with acrylic colors, glue, and isolating materials.

The unusual material studies shown here, are almost low relieves that reveal the shapes that Sosa extracts from the trunk of a sick chestnut tree that has been left outdoors to weather.

 

They are lines of interior writings that tell a never-ending story of the artist’s enduring relationship with his native land.

Evident traces of contamination between sculpture-ceramics-painting-architecture are found in this project rendered more tangible in some of the images inserted in the artist’s interesting gallery.

DEATH IN VENICE

Death is not our way out*
Paraphrasing François Cheng, we can affirm that Pierre Vauconsant's project wants to establish that death is not the outcome of Venice. His Venice is simply drowsy.

Artist wrote in a letter:
«Why this primate for Venice?
Palladio, Sansovino, Canaletto, Guardi, Tiziano, Veronese, Tintoretto? Yes, without doubt, but not only.
What attracts me, what fascinates me in Venice is not the enchanting city of the Doges. It is rather its disenchantment
Venice did not slumber in the silence of arms after the battle, after the bitterly-tasting defeat, but in a calm finally found, in a Mediterranean sweetness, a torpor that was no longer disturbed by the Turkish, the closure of a few trading posts or a trade route, the arrogance of the princes or even the sun which, since 1492, was rising in the West. After history and geography had turned its back on it, the proud lagoon republic became serene once again".

It is the languor, the melancholy of Venice that the artist tries to express in his works, which he calls "texmix", where mirrors, glass and pearls play with light, captured and reflected without discontinuity.

«This sad joy lurks deep in the eyes without looking at the masks. Lost glances in the ultra-baroque madness of the costumes and the floury faces and also this quest for light, this need - to be in a light - that never stops casting its last fires. A light that keeps pain at bay without remedy. A light that keeps death at a distance.»

Pierre Vauconsant

Pierre Vauconsant

Trained in Applied Arts, Pierre Vauconsant approaches painting by creating industrial landscapes and river harbours. Captured by Hispano-Moorish architecture and the colours of the Mediterranean perceived during a long stay in Andalusia, he began to draw and paint on different supports with a palette that was still dark.

exhibition project: photography

UNEXPECTED SCENERY OF MONGOLIA

The images that follow are taken from a new project of the photography section. Eluxes proposes some spontaneous shots – no rules, no techniques; impressions, participation, the sharing of the artist’s stories.

Read “Mongolia” and you can imagine steppes, taiga, nomads, gher, animals, the Gobi desert that offers surprising encounters. Perhaps it’s obvious but if you listen you can also perceive the pervasive fear of another zud (a natural catastrophe that destroys pasture lands and kills the animals), the renewed cult of Gengis Han, an outlaw who then became a national emblem. You see Buddhist monasteries where temples intermingle with gher, street children and building speculation…

I have tried transmit my vivid memory of the hospitality of the nomad population through my photos, the importance of body language, the position of guests and members of the family and where they must sit inside a gher, the value of identification of traditional dress, the cult of the ovoo that has substituted the shamanic cult of their ancestors.

I have attended the national summer festival “Naadam”, three games among men, including archery which has lost its male prerogative because of the strong presence of female athletes. I saw the ceremony to award a prize for the victor in wrestling who is glorified during the following year.

My trip concluded among the “aimag” of Lake Hovsgol with the search among reindeer ranchers for the last shamans.

This proposal obviously represents only a little part of the photographs required to create an exhibition focusing on the theme “Mongolia”
