Sunday Evening Art Gallery — Helena Hafemann

~ humoringthegoddess ~ 6 Comments

Helena Hafemann born 1997, is an artist and curator living and working in Wiesbaden, Germany.In her work, she deals with the visualization and transformations of social values and explores the dignity of the materials.Her instinct merges the fragility of porcelain with the tensile strength of thread, creating a paradoxical interplay that is stunning and metaphorical.Hafemann meticulously pieces together broken plate fragments, not to restore the saucer to its original form, but to transcend it.She also stretches hundreds of strands of filigree thread between broken segments of plates.By employing delicate threads to connect these broken pieces, she creates an entirely new object, one that acknowledged the saucer’s past while propelling it into a new dimension of aesthetic and emotional significance.The threads that stretch between the porcelain fragments symbolize the bonds that hold us together, even in the face of fragmentation. Together, these materials tell a story of loss, transformation and redemption, capturing moments of dissolution and freezing them in time.More of Helena Hafemann’s wonderfully creative artwork can be found at her website, https://www.helenahafemann.de/.

The artist creates iconic figures that embody her preoccupation with the nature of cyclical life, non-visibility and the beauty of transient glamor.

Her installation works often crosses three-dimensional boundaries.Although her work often references classical Asian motifs, Hwang reinterprets these images through her medium, redefining her cultural heritage.

Hwang is best known for her large-scale wall installations in which buttons, beads, pins, and threads on wood panels form images of falling blossoms, vases, Buddhas, and birds.

To construct much of her work, Hwang creates paper buttons by hand, hammering each one approximately twenty-five times until it is secure.

Her process requires the utmost concentration and discipline, recalling the meditative state practiced by Zen masters.

I love creative art!

My friend at SKETCHUNIVERSE reposted this delightful blog by Kawaii Corner. This particular blog is about creating a mixed media piece. The painting begins with a collage of Japanese language newspaper, tissues, paper napkins and even Christmas wrapping paper!

I think you will enjoy her creations! Go check her out!

 

 

Today some intuitive mixed media painting but not following a class this time. I thought to see how I could integrate what I’ve been learning so far and create independently.
