Beyond the Surface

In ​“Beyond the Surface”, Hélène Le Chatelier interrogates the secret and unconscious parts of ourselves, trying to reveal what is hidden from others and sometimes even from us.

Through Chinese ink paintings, sculptures, video and installations, the artist portrays our inner geography and the landscapes we walk along, when we sink within our inner world.
​Shaped by the passage of time, these “Internal Landscapes“ reveal our emotions and feelings, strengths and fragilities, bright and dark sides. She questions the place of silence and introspection as well as the role of physical contacts. In a world submerged by a constant flow of images, sounds and digital data, boundaries between skin and screen become blurry.

Playing with reflections, the artist strives to engage with the viewers and to encourage them to reconsider their own inwardness.

A French Artist Based In Singapore

Hélène Le Chatelier is a French artist based in Singapore since 2010. She was trained in Paris and specialised in Fresco, a technique inherited from the Italian Renaissance. Unexpectedly, the ink wash technique she has developed resonates with Chinese ink art, while her focus on the passage of time and the transient nature of life connects her with many Asian artists.

Her most recent exhibitions took place in Europe, Asia and America:

Explore Your Inner Self

Internal Landscapes

In a world where “intimacy” is challenged by the contemporary habit of the “self recording mode” to be shared instantly on social media, the artist invites us to a different journey.

This inward journey is an Odyssey in a silent world to eventually discover our personal and collective roots.

When we sink into ourselves, what we discover are unexplored territories.

Hélène’s nudes and internal landscape constitute a cartography of remembrance.

How Hélène's Work Fits With Intersections' Vision

Trained in Fresco Technique, Hélène has developed her own ink wash technique, which is both at the intersection of Western and Eastern aesthetics and of tradition and modernity.

Her nudes as well as her internal landscapes resonate with Chinese ink art. She also succeeds in rejuvenating the ancestral brush technique by creating video works and installations.
