Exhibitions - 2005 - Béatrice Helg: Luminous Space
The photographs of Béatrice Helg present us with ethereal "landscapes," monumental spaces of mathematical precision. In ter "Twilight" series, Helg creates forms against a backdrop of oxidized metal, some freestanding, other levitating, or just barely leaning against one another. Light plays a crucial role in these works as Helg's skillful illumination embodies the greatest sensitivity, blurring the boundaries between the abstract and the real.
Béatrice Helg was born in Switzerland in 1956. After graduating from Calvin College with a liberal arts degree and complete advanced studies in cello at the Geneva Music Conservatory, she pursued her studies in photography at the California College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland, the Brooks Institute in Santa Barbara and the International Center of Photography (ICP) in New York. Since 1979, Béatrice Helg has exhibited her photographs in a number of museum and gallery solo exhibitions, as well as in many group shows and international art fairs in the United States, Japan and Europe. Her works can ve found in numerous prestigious international public and private collections, including the Internation Center of Photography, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Kunsthaus Zürich, Museo de Arte Moderna in Sao Paolo and the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, among many others.
