The answer lies in his pictures, which are a crazy yet harmonious arrangement of found of found objects from different origins. He detaches tiny details from their usual context and context and places them in a completely new dialogue with each other in his pictorial worlds. His are by no means a reflection of reality, but rather a play with fragments of reality fragments of reality that are assembled into fictitious truths. Helmut Grill works in coherent series. In doing so, the artist immerses himself in the title-giving theme, which in turn leads to further themes and series. Since 2007, the artist has been working on the series "The Refuge" (2007), a series of pictures that evoke psychological and perhaps also social abysses. Strange houses, bars, brothels and cafés are at the centre of his pictures. The neighbourhood surrounding these buildings area provided the inspiration for a subsequent series of "Sceneries" (2011-2014), natural spaces and landscapes. They play with the expectations, idealisation and fantasy images of unspoilt nature. At second glance, however, the viewer recognises "impurities", symbols and signs from our consumer and media world and from everyday culture, which the artist weaves into his pictures.
