Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This artwork features a minimalist composition with organic, flowing shapes in shades of green and blue against a neutral beige background. The undulating lines and curves create a sense of movement and fluidity, evoking natural forms such as foliage or marine life. The artist appears to have used a combination of materials, including fabric or canvas, to construct this three-dimensional, sculptural piece. The work's abstraction and natural references suggest a meditative, contemplative quality, inviting the viewer to explore the interplay of color, shape, and form. ...

Helene Appel
Artist
Helene Appel
B.1976, German

Working mostly with watercolour, acrylic and oils on raw linen, Helene Appel renders everyday objects and substances in minute detail. Shards of spaghetti, folded blankets, or fragments of broken glass act as subjects, with Appel’s mastery of trompe l’oeil and illusionist painting magnifying the very fibre of these materials. Through the process of painting these tableaux, the intrinsic beauty of these items is revealed, and the art historical weight of the untreated linen pedestals of these entities. Blurring a minimalist aesthetic with the tropes of classical still life painting, fresh, sharp focus is gifted to these objects. Revelling in both flux and stillness, Appel depicts precise moments of transition, such as the spilling of grains or the curve of a wave forming, whilst she also applies careful precision to inanimate surfaces such as pavement stones, the bark of trees or grains of sand. What unites all of these paintings is their poetic tone, and their lyrical ability to capture the smaller moments of life in registers usually reserved for grander settings. ...

P420
Gallery
P420
Bologna

The name P420 is inspired by Pantone 420, a universally recognized shade of grey known for its ability to serve as the perfect background, enhancing whatever it accompanies. P420 thus emerges as a platform whose primary aim is to embrace and elevate artistic ideas and expressions, fostering their harmonious coexistence within a context that supports, encourages, and celebrates diversity and innovation. Here, every voice can resonate powerfully and distinctly, much like a work of art standing out against the backdrop of Pantone 420. P420 has been instrumental in the rediscovery of artists such as Irma Blank, Laura Grisi, Ana Lupas, and Stephen Rosenthal, collaborating directly with the artists or, when necessary, with their heirs or the Estates representing them. Through exhibitions, off-site projects, fairs, and a strong online presence, the gallery also supports the evolving narratives of contemporary art, initiating and supporting the journey of many young emerging talents like Victor Fotso Nyie, Francis Offman, and Shafei Xia. ...
