Helene Ireland @ 155A Gallery

The real subject of  Helen Ireland’s work is ambiguous, and is perhaps impossible to describe in words. In her working process we witness an endless build up of lines and colours, then revisions and re-workings until finally something new emerges.

Her work has a sense of climate, weather and atmosphere but it is also intrinsically linked to the process and plastic qualities of painting. She uses mapping, grids, overlaying colour, staining, obliterating; working and reworking a painting whether on paper, canvas or wood that remains constant.
