Helen Smith’s practice is influenced by a formal, reductionist viewpoint with simplicity of form and geometric abstraction generally contributing to the outcome. Oil on canvas paintings, large scale wall works derived from an interest in social and cultural systems form the basis for her enquiry.
She has recently completed a Master of Fine Art with the Sydney College of the Arts and her works are included in the Collections of National Gallery of Australia, Daimler Collection Berlin, Artbank – National Collection, Art Gallery of Western Australia, Art Gallery of South Australia, Australian Embassy – Madrid, John Curtin Gallery – Curtin University of Technology, Louis Vuitton Collection, Lawrence Wilson Art Gallery University of WA, Murdoch University, BankWest, PS Netherlands, Hebel 121 Collection and various private collections in Australia and Europe. Helen is represented by Gallery9, Sydney.
