Illustrations of Orlin Helgoe
May 2 to September 20 | 3rd Floor Foyer Gallery
Even if one does not know who Orlin Helgoe was, his works are arresting. They demand one stop and explore, even contemplate what is being offered. It could be completely surface, utilizing simple objects and local creatures. It could be something hidden, with a treasure map offered to the adventurous viewer, sometimes, it is both. There are so many ways into a Helgoe piece, from the pulsating colors in juxtaposition with stark black and whites or metallics, to recognizable creatures elevated to their numinous qualities that he collects a very wide audience base. In June will be an extension of this with Surrealism of the Southwest featuring more of Orlin's paintings. More info below and see you here!
Student, teacher, mentor, friend, roofer, painter, husband, father, grandfather, wanderer, the van Gogh of the Prairie, Prairie Shaman – these are a few of the titles that have followed Orlin Helgoe through his life.
