Helen Shulman
Artist Statement:
DeKooning said “sometimes you just have to take a walk; a walk in your own landscape”. When I paint I am walking in my own landscape dwelling somewhere between the dream and waking worlds. In the middle of my process I remember the quote “science makes life possible; art makes it worth living”. When I’m completing a piece, I’m very concerned that it makes sense and resonates with viewers. And I can’t help but think of Joan Miro’s comment “You can look at a picture for a week and never think of it again. You can also look at the picture for a second and think of it all your life.” At the end I am hoping to present something that invites viewers to pause, take a deep breath and drop their shoulders. I hope they will ask not what it is but how it makes them feel.
