Synopsis

Since 2008, self-taught artist Eli Helman (b.1978) has spent thousands of hours meticulously crafting highly detailed pen and ink drawings. Having no formal training, his outsider style evolved from simple pencil doodles of abstract shapes and patterns into complex, thematically diverse fine art illustrations. He considers his style to be Maximalism - a term used in many forms of art that can be marked by, but not limited to, the juxtaposition of varying styles, a process oriented approach and an obsessive attention to details. Leaving virtually no space untouched, many of his large pieces (18" X 24") take well over 100 hours each to complete. In this collection, he presents fifty (50) smaller works from his 5" x 7" and 8" X 10" series' divided into five categories - Trees and Birds, Animals, Humanities, Music and Shelves. This eclectic group contains a range of subjects that, while individually unique, are unmistakably linked by the style itself - a boldly intricate yet distinctively raw form of expressionism that combines elements of folk art, comic humor and whimsical surrealism with a strong focus on pattern. An artist friend once described the work as "funny, meditative, beautifully simple yet complexly precise." The intention is to present a celebration of life with satisfyingly full visual experience.
