Helene Billgren
(Sweden, Born 1952)

"Sjuksköterskor"

Signed Helene Billgren on verso. Executed 1992. Charcoal 42 x 30 cm.

Provenance

Andréhn-Schiptjenko, Stockholm.

Designer

Helene Billgren is a Swedish visual artist. She studied at Valand Academy of Fine Arts from 1982 up until 1987. The female form, the home, and family stand at the forefront of Helene’s artistic career. She is highly interested in the mundaneness of the everyday, transforming it in her art in her own way. Old items and clothing are repurposed to create something new, occupying a new purpose in her artistic universe.
In recent years, Billgren has become interested in collecting patters, decorative objects, and symbols which we surround ourselves with during the Christmas season. She alters, embroiders, writes, draws and puts together these elements in a bizarre and unusual way, transforming their function, and in turn their appearance and meanings.
