No conversation about hyperrealism, violence, and children would be complete without mention of Gottfried Helnwein. Helnwein’s paintings walk the line between upsetting and beautiful but are always provocative. While his subject matter isn’t for everyone, his skills behind a brush are undeniable. Plus he paints with sunglasses on. How bad ass is that?
“Melanie Authier’s paintings bring together visual contradictions into one imaginary space. By drawing upon the histories of abstraction and the strategies of representation, she presents improbable environments. A sense of disorientation comes about through the way in which colour, texture, line and shape compete for room within the canvas. Each work presents a brimming jostle of oppositions that the viewer is invited to bring into a certain order.”
