Hélène Planquelle is a self-taught contemporary figurative painter whose works explore the delicate balance between pleasure and suffering in our relationship to others, from both an individual and collective perspective, through recurring themes such as emotional dependence, attachment, vulnerability, acceptance and rejection, violence and power dynamics.
While figurative, her work is conceptual in nature, drawing from a rich bedrock of philosophical, literary and scientific references, in fields ranging from ethics to social sciences, including attachment theory and evolutionary psychology.
The title of each series, most often a quotation (literary, poetic or philosophical), creates an echo between each work, thus opening the field of possible interpretations for the viewer.
