Looking Up – Helaine Blumenfeld at Canary Wharf
SCULPTURE
Showing sculptures by Helaine Blumenfeld at Canary
Wharf gives an unrivalled opportunity to view them in
the context of hard interior and exterior architecture
as well as carefully designed outdoor spaces amongst
mature trees. Her fusion of natural forms, both human
and foliate, spiced with abstraction, are seen through
a range of diverse works dating from 1974 to 2019.
Blumenfeld works in a range of media – marble
from many locations in Europe and the Middle East,
terracotta, wood and bronze, all of which she pushes to
the limits of risk, teetering on the edge of impossibility,
particularly in her carving. Through time, she has
carved deeper into a range of fine marbles, using both
material density and translucency to create lyrical and
complex forms in works reflecting life, myth and our
irrefutable part of the natural world. The subjective
word beauty comes to mind and cannot be ignored.
Hignell Gallery in Mayfair will be holding a parallel
exhibition of work by Helaine Blumenfeld and will
also screen the Sky Arts documentary film on the
artist working in her studios, featuring the renowned
marble quarries of Pietrasanta, Italy. For details visit
