Biography
I can be attracted to many different subjects as it's the shapes and light I see first and the subject second. So it may be a landscape or an urban subject or a still life."
Helene
Buttling has worked as an artist for over 35 years and has
exhibited widely both in international Salons in France, Italy,
Poland, galleries in Britain and solo exhibitions in Paris and South
West France. Her work has been selected by the European Arts
Commission for an exhibition in St. Petersburgh, Russia and in 2014
Saatchi online gallery selected her work as one of fifty artists for
their on line collection of contemporary artists.
She is
fascinated by light and shapes and paints a wide range of subjects
including landscapes, still lives, portraits and urban scenes.
She aims to capture the light and atmosphere of a subject and the
moment captured in time.
She has worked in graphic art
near London in the 1970's and in marketing in South Wales where she
moved with her husband before becoming a self-employed artist.
She moved to France in 1992 and apart from exhibiting has worked for
the General Council of the Charente to teach and promote art. One of
her paintings was selected by the bank Credit Agricole for the
opening of their bank in Salgau, Germany.
She
has a permanent exhibition of her work at her gallery/studio near
Chalais, South West France, where she has been teaching art for the
last 16 years.
