Item Description
Educated at Denison University and the University of Charleston, Helen Chilton has been a life long resident of Charleston. Her work has been exhibited in numerous one woman and group shows, including Chautauqua National Exhibition in New York, the Smithsonian Institution’s Museum of American Art in DC, the West Virginia Juried Exhibition, and the Contemporary Arts Museum of Virginia. She is represented in many corporate and private collections. Chilton has been represented in WV by The Art Store, since 1978.
With her painted violin, Chilton has directed her focus to the introspective study of flowers, butterflies, bugs, and other garden creatures, creating monumental images from the forms of nature. Butterflies are turned into permanent images without season, without life cycles. The violin brings you a physical closeness, seeing it’s detail, hovering with it, descending, browsing and landing on the surface, much like an insect would. Imagine inhabiting these plants in a shared ecosystem.
Item Special Note
Violin sponsored by Martha and Rudy DiTrapano.
