SUMMARY:Uncharted Waters an Exhibition by Helen English
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: The Incubator Creative Hub\nThis work is a continuation of work exploring figurative and marine themes. Helen is interested in preserving the natural environment and the discovery of our incredible world without leaving permanent marks. \nShe paints ethereal women as seekers — navigators of the natural world — who engage with their surroundings through intuition and curiosity\, with a respect and wonder for what they find. The fish and ocean creatures which Helen paints represent the beauty and variety of that world which we do not often see up close. \nWith a style that shifts between realism\, expressionism and abstraction\, Helen has a deep passion for colour and creating a mood. Her work consists of layers of water-based mediums and collage which\, after the curing process\, is glazed with oils to enhance depth \nBorn in the UK\, her early career in post-production opened the door to international opportunities\, eventually bringing her to Aotearoa. She had always made art but it took a while to make it a career. After spending years creating intermittently\, and gaining a teaching degree\, she finally created a studio space at home\, and her art practice became a regular pursuit. Her space is peaceful and perfect for creative inspiration. \nWhilst continuing to paint\, she completed a Master of Visual Arts Education at the University of Waikato and then furthered her art practice through training with the Milan Art Institute\, blending classical techniques with contemporary vision. \nSponsored by Gate Pa New World. \nThis exhibition launch preview is Friday 8th May\, 5.30pm – 7pm. On display from 9th May to 31st May. \nEveryone is welcome. Licensed Bar available. \nFind out more
