Thomas Helbig: „Creation“ as a multifaceted art experience in Wasserburg am Inn
With the exhibition „Creation“, painter and sculptor Thomas Helbig centers a work in the former police station in Wasserburg am Inn that oscillates between figuration and abstraction, fragment and form, material and metaphor. Featured are paintings, objects, and collages from the last three years that intertwine art history, folk art, and popular culture in their visual language. The presentation opens up an intense aesthetic experience, in which the emergence and passing of images unfolds before the eyes of the viewers.

Between cosmos, body, and fragment
Thomas Helbig, born in 1967 in Rosenheim and currently living and working in Berlin, is known for his works that cannot be reduced to pure painting or classical sculpture. His works navigate a tension field of darkness, opulence, and deconstructed forms; they reference art historical contexts without submitting to them. It is precisely this productive friction that makes the appeal of his exhibition: image spaces open up, bodies dissolve, and from fragments arises a peculiar poetry of the unfinished.

The visual language: figuration, abstraction, and materiality
In the current works, viewers encounter anonymous portraits in historically reminiscent clothing as well as plastic forms that seem to be composed of debris, body fragments, and organic-technical shapes. Helbig works with a visual logic that recalls surrealism, avant-garde, and modern collage tradition, while simultaneously developing a very personal, contemporary handwriting. The works in the exhibition make the materiality of color, contour, and surface experienceable as a space of understanding.

Education, mediation, and art enjoyment
Anyone interested in contemporary art, exhibition practice, and art historical references will find a stimulating field of work observation here. Helbig's works invite reflection on figuration, deconstruction, and the poetics of material. The art experience unfolds not only visually but also intellectually: as a dialogue with painting, sculpture, and collage, as an encounter with an art that takes intermediate spaces seriously.

Conclusion: „Creation“ promises a dense, demanding, and sensual exhibition that makes Thomas Helbig's artistic language visible in all its multifacetedness. Anyone seeking contemporary art with depth should experience this presentation live in Wasserburg am Inn.
