Déjà-vu!
Helene Knoop’s recent paintings in New York are stories
you’ve heard before depicted in a generous and sensual
way. Helene Knoop paints people with characters seen in
mythology and religion.
Déjà-vu
shows at Trygve Lie Gallery situated in the Norwegian Seamen’s
church. One of the greatest commissioners for painting used
to be the church. If you take the best symbols from Christianity
and unite them with Knoop’s paintings, you will get
high-kitsch without the irony. Gold, skin, blood and tears.
Helene
Knoop’s paintings shown at Trygve-Lie Gallery in the
exhibit called Dèjá-vu, are images with references
to the history of painting and sculpture. The persons in
the paintings express virtues and conditions which connect
to your memories and feelings.
Déjà-vu,
starts January 18th between 6-8 p.m. at Trygve Lie Gallery.
