At first sight Helder’s present show may look unassuming, but to an extent it is a kind of statement about the diversity and combination of drawings it wants to present.

They range from the works purely drawn from the use of basic graphic techniques, to lyrical or socio-politically motivated drawings.

Helder has a special interest in artists who combine thinking and making, technique and lyricism and not in the kind of expressionism that seems to come right from the gut.

As such Spring of Drawing shows a great diversity of drawings that combine very well.

Wild is the Wind, Galerie Helder, The Hague

Helder gallery has joined works by three artists in its present show in a happy combination.

Kevin Bauer shows sculptures that almost look like three-dimensional paintings. They

rhyme well with Marena Seeling’s paintings and watercolours, most of them based on modern Dutch countryside landscape.

Stephan van den Burg shows his small drawings which are made as meticulously as tapestry, amongst them some new more colourful works.

It is best to take a look for yourself as there is a lot to be seen.
