Gottfried Helnwein : Detail
San Francisco Chronicle
Kenneth Baker
Gottfried Helnwein's "Untitled" (2005), oil and acrylic on canvas, features an unsettling dreamlike encounter.
In one large painting, a girl sits on the edge of a bed in a barren room, staring into space. A giant blue rabbit with sightless insect eyes stands before her, clad in some sort of military garb. Despite their proximity, the two figures seem to occupy different dimensions. The frightful effect of the rabbit figure appears to register more in us than in the child whose vision we may be spying on.
The vaguely erotic menace of the rabbit figure flares in another untitled picture in which a sort of Mad Hatter figure, all in yellow and masked, leans in to touch a sleeping girl with a gloved hand.
For all the pictures' realism and their echoes of Lewis Carroll, they evoke psychological rather than literal monstrosity: the betrayal of innocence by imagination as well as reality. ... +

Look at Helnwein's painting under Visual Sociology
Help us find visual, aural, metaphors that will let others understand the importance of engagement in this process. Look at Helnwein's painting under Visual Sociology. I left it up. What was Helnwein saying? Why was he willing to offend. Why do Beau and Michael want to shake us up? How are those things related? Why did one of my students make a giant box that when opened had a lovely smiling face inside that said "F^&* the Patriot Act"?? Isn't that a lot like what Helnwein and Kiefer and Beuys were doing? Maybe saying "wake up and look at what you're doing?" ... +

The Stiletto Projects
Copenhagen
Alexander Natas
A virtuoso and a visionary with one eye behind the veil of the world, the other reflecting endless horror, beauty, loss, humour and melancholy - all with a steady hand. The position is supreme, the means are penetrating and the message as deep as it gets. To me the strange silent directness in Helnweins work is unrivaled, no other artist today tells the dim story of the world in a more disturbing and moving way. His work, views and perspectives are completely congruent and appeals to me in a very direct and personal way. ... +

Gottfried Helnwein : Black Mirror VII
Galeries Nationales du Grand Palais - Paris, Neue Nationalgalerie, Berlin
Melancholie- Genie und Wahnsinn im Abendland
Ausstellungskatalog

Aucune disposition d'âme n'a occupé si longtemps l'Occident. Les Grecs l'appelaient la bile noire (melangkholia, qui donnera le mot mélancolie). Aristote s'étonnait que cette humeur réputée néfaste touche la plupart des hommes d'exception. Elle est par tradition cause de souffrance et de folie, et sa désignation comme "maladie sacrée" implique une dualité. Les artistes de l'Antiquité la représentèrent sous la forme d'êtres pensifs, tête inclinée posée sur la main, regard perdu où se devine une sourde douleur. Au fil des siècles, l'image du mélancolique changera peu - 'le Portrait du Dr Gachet', de Van Gogh, ou la sculpture hyperréaliste de l'Australien Ron Mueck ('Big Man', 2000) respectent cette iconographie. Devenue saturnienne, puis reclassée dans la grande famille des dépressions, la mélancolie a toujours inspiré les artistes qui, pour en être victimes dans les périodes de doute et d'impuissance, connaissent son charme mortifère. Avec plus de 200 oeuvres, l'exposition se propose de vous introduire à cette richesse encore mal connue et met en évidence le rôle essentiel joué par la mélancolie dans les différentes formes de la création artistique en Europe, de Dürer à Goya en passant par Bruegel, Bosh, Arcimboldo, Watteau, La Tour, Füssli, Delacroix, Rodin, Munch, Baudelaire, Artaud, De Chirico, Picasso, Hopper... ... +

Gottfried Helnwein : Sleep 5

"Beautiful Children", Gottfried Helnwein, Ludwig Museum Schloss Oberhausen
Die Ludwiggalerie im Schloß Oberhausen mag bereits die zweite Präsentationsstätte von Gottfried Helnweins Ausstellung "Beautiful Children" sein, doch sie ist erste Wahl, was die Präsentation betrifft. In den großen Räumen verteilen sich rund drei Dutzend Werke, darunter eine kleine Auswahl von "Klassikern" der siebziger Jahre des vergangenen Jahrhunderts, als der Wiener Maler mit seinen typisch deformierten oder verbundenen Gesichtern bekannt wurde, und Reprisen älterer Schlüsselwerke wie etwa die in ihrer Brutalität berückend originalgetreue Micky Maus ("Midnight Mickey"), die hier in einer Version aus dem Jahr 2001 vertreten ist.
Doch das sind Bilder, die längst in die popkulturelle Walhalla eingegangen sind. Deshalb ist es erfreulich, daß diese erste größere deutsche Einzelausstellung seit vielen Jahren den Schwerpunkt eindeutig auf neue Projekte legt: auf "The Golden Age" etwa, wo der Popstar Marilyn Manson in wechselnden Masken das Modell für Helnweins Kamera abgibt ... +
