Eric Helin's Artist Portfolio
Welcome to Eric Helin's Portfolio.
The work of the Cubists made a strong impression on me at a very young age. I often use a Cubist approach when I manipulate space. I artificially restrict depth in my works, by forcing my designs into the confines of a two dimensional plane which flattens and distorts depth. The results of this can be seen in pieces like my table “Watercourse.”
The outré, exotic and unusual have always fascinated me. Consequently, aspects of the Avant-Garde and Surrealism have also significantly influenced my work, though ultimately my work is defined by Concrescentism. The Concrescentist approach allows me to re-interpret traditional elements or designs by applying operative techniques derived from various art movements. This alters any original element in such a way that it results in hybrid decorative motifs or forms.
My own “maleness” is another underlying component in my artistic expression. I’m captivated by the sleekness, grace, and angularity of the male form which seems very consistent with my own designs. This masculine disposition is expressed in well defined lines and carefully delineated geometric forms. It also adds an industrial dimension that issues in precisely structured pieces like “Smokestack,” or in tables with bridge-like qualities... |
