I wanted to go away, to leave the house. We couldn’t go out. I left all the same on a motionless trip. Without plane, boat or sleigh. Just a destination to explore, of which we knew nothing.
My own private Grønland is a resilient act of creating movement where there cannot be any, in the unbridled exploration of the images, knowledge and reveries associated with a country that we never saw.
Through the paintings, clothing and textiles gathered for the exhibition My own private Grønland draws a sensitive and intuitive cartography of a journey into interior territory. Viewers get immersed and are led to experience themselves the protection rituals to help move forward in the fog and, the lips chapped by the cold to feel the sleeping energy of life under the white and quiet surface. And the magic works. Gradually the imaginary becomes as tangible as immediate reality and the visible and the invisible become two sides of the same coin.
The artist Hélène Picard, born in France and graduated at the Beaux-Arts de Paris articulates her work around the connection between painting and clothing. She currently works and lives in Brussels. She has been awarded several prizes and residencies programmes and has had solo exhibitions of her works in Spain, France and the United States.
