Helen Flockhart Exhibition Talk

Helen Flockhart has built a reputation as one of the finest and most distinctive Scottish artists of her generation.  From the beginning of her career Helen has drawn her creative inspiration from a range of esoteric and mythical sources and developed a distinctive style.  Lush foliage with intricately painted patterns of decorative design often serves as the backdrop to figures and animals.  Heavy with references to myths, legends and literature, the works are suspended in the moment, forever waiting for a witness to peek in.  They are masterfully painted, impeccable compositions with fluid and ripe narratives.

Helens new body of work takes as its starting point the study of Mary Queen of Scots and her fascination with the way gender determined events in her life and, ultimately, history.
