Artist Spotlight: Helen Bur

A selection of canvas work by London-based artist Helen Bur. Using traditionally influenced techniques, Bur’s paintings capture moments of quiet action frozen in the midst of happening. The lack of information or clarity in the scenes are meant to convey a sense of absurdity in the everyday and life in general.
