Helene Black

Helene Black is a Cypriot artist working with various media. She has been exhibited in museums and contemporary art centers in Cyprus, Argentina, France, UK, Japan, Greece, Switzerland, Denmark and Australia.
Jurate Macnoriute writes: "Helene Black quasi renews life of 'Arte Povera' in the light of the 21st century applying new materials and new technologies that was not known in 1962-1972. Her artworks are constructed of mirror stainless steel, perspex, perspex mirror, diffraction grating film, computer manipulated image exposed on color separation film and aluminum text. She likes hard slow sublime rhythms, poor, but weighty colors that came from antique. Digital photography, computer helps to build her many layered tricky compositions, dealing with the relationships between the real and the virtual, the private to the public -- theme of the authenticity of a person's existence is attractive for the artist. She applies tags of Internet language together with portraits and copies of personal documents like the birth certificate as signs carrying deeper meaning. These mentioned things make novelty brought by Helene Black for 'Arte Povera'" whilst Denise Robinson had this to say"...Much of Black's work engages with the altered relation of object and observer in the new visual spaces created by new technologies..."
