Hélène Delprat

WITH MY VOICE I’M CALLING YOU

Open from 19.05.2020
Extended till 31.07.2020

The Kunsthalle Gießen is pleased to present the first institutional solo-exhibition in Germany by Hélène Delprat. Quoting is central to the work of the French artist Hélène Delprat. She develops her own unfathomable and excessive cosmos from literary, (art)historical, cinematic and pop cultural references, in which the humorous merges with the gloomy and the ornamental with the figurative. In addition to painting and drawing, her work includes objects, video and scenographic elements in which established boundaries are broken down and new connections and possibilities are created.

Hélène Delprat (* 1957 Amiens) lives and works in Paris. Her work has been exhibited in numerous international solo and group exhibitions including the Museu Picasso in Barcelona (Fall 2020) and La maison rouge. It is part of various significant collections like the Centre Pompidou and the Pinault Collection in Paris and the MoMA in New York.
