About Helmut Stallaerts
Helmut Stallaerts works across various mediums, including painting, film, installation, photographs, and is known for oppressive and unsettling nature. He is particularly noted for his paintings that depict uncanny scenes and sometimes using unconventional materials as supports. Man is the focal point of Stallaerts' extensive and complex body of work, his subjects often present the portraits in an awkward, theatrical manner, as if participating in an undefined ritual. The atmosphere created is eerie and dark, with sterile and cold environments that lack recognizable or familiar details. Time in his work is not depicted linearly, and the space in his paintings often appears as an enigmatic void. Stallaert captures moments, highlights what has always been there, and invites viewers to contemplate the mysteries of existence through his enigmatic, yet open-ended works.
