Helen Steele is fast emerging as one of Ireland's top abstract artists. Her work has achieved critical acclaim in both Europe and the United States. Her techniques and insight are totally unique. The following work is an ongoing investigation into the influences of change on the unconscious. It's a semi-spontaneous response to remembered images of the unconscious. The colourful, diverse textural surfaces are loose and unordered.
‘I run, drip and razor blade the paint to create 3-dimensional surfaces.
These techniques allow abstract forms and images to emerge and melt in the imagination.’
