ANIMA MUSE
New Project: Artwork which is a skeptical
exploration of the notion of the Anima in comparison with its
mythological counterpart, the muse. It includes unfinished works
and sketches of various sorts which were spur of the moment pieces,
sometimes using a surprising choice of mediums. Artistic
perfection is not being sought in these pictures; the aim is the
immediate expression of a spontaneous emotion regarding the image being
created.
HEDON
Hedon is a visual
representation of a Greek myth. It is a long term project involving a
large number of pictures. It is hoped that a selection of the pictures
will become avialble for viewing in the latter part of the year.
KYKLOPS
Kyklops
is a similar, smaller, project. It has already been decided that
Kyklops will be published as a book, possibly in late 2012.
MAGICIANS
This
project was suggested by an Italian art collector. He was
interested not only in Helvin's art but the unusual style of drawing
used in Helvin's pen art. The series of portraits will include pen
sketches, pencil sketches and paintings. Helvin was requested to video
some of the sketches being drawn using time lapse
photography. Some of the
them were featured in an interview in the September 2009 issue of
Magicseen
magazine.
UPDATE: This project, begun in January 2009, was finished in
March 2010. The images have been removed from this page but the
exhibitors have commissioned their own website (still under
construction) where exhibition details, images, etc can be found.

The videos of some of the artwork can still be found here on our
video page but they will be removed later in the year.
THE DEAD
The Dead
is a project in which John Helvin provided illustrations
for a selection of poetry. The poems include Anthem For Doomed Youth,
Futility
and Asleep
by Wilfred Owen.
UPDATE: This project is now complete and so the images have been removed from this site.
OBJECTS IN MY
LIFE
This project is now complete and so the images have been removed
