DOWN UNDER
Helen Collins
2 April – 7 May 2011
Mixed Media - Contemporary Conceptual Expressionism
In life you see exteriors. What you see on the surface is directly influenced by what’s underneath. This is representative of everything in life as well as is art – a rose bloom is the result of how well it has been nurtured and treated. This exhibition is an attempt to connect the two. It attempts to capture the influences that shaped and created the exterior. It sends the message that beneath the surface is a lifetime journey –a journey unique to each of us; and something that is often hidden or camouflaged.
In her work, Helen endeavours to create an emotional connection rather than a contemporary clear image, as no person’s journey is without twists, emotions and upset. The works capture inner feelings and emotions via the use of heightened colour and deliberate play with content. The work is conceptual. The viewer is required to analyse the image rather than the image instantly reveal itself.
Helen completed a Diploma of Visual Arts through Tropical North Queensland Institute of TAFE in 2007 and subsequently completed a Bachelor of Creative Industries at James Cook University. This is her first solo exhibition, having previously participated in several group exhibitions.
