‘Back to Square One’ project examines our notoriously common habits in repetition as beings and the possibility of breaking the loop of habitual patterns. How is it that along with the incredibly auspicious possibility of becoming loving and creative in every moment co-emerges the unspeakable acts of violence we subject each other, within the very room and even relationship? What are the two beings doing differently? How precisely must we be undone?

Basak Malone LLC is pleased to present Tove Hellerud.

“Art is a portal leading into the oblivious”, the Norwegian abstract expressionist Hellerud once said. And it is true. Hellerud explains her work as whispers, whispers that make the viewers listen. Even though the colours and techniques used by Hellerud are very interesting and perfectly applied, one of the most important part of her work is storytelling.

Every painting plays a part, as paragraphs, in a larger story, told as a continuous stream of paintings. The story, in her abstract work, is not only her story, but also our story. Hellerud’s mission in this part of the process is to get us to remember our own stories. She makes it possible for us to relate to her work. Hellerud is trained to paint figurative, but the abstract expression is suitable to convey what she wants. The form, colour and composition along with a combination of different techniques make a fascinating dynamic expression. With a background in fabric and sculpture, stretching of the materials boundaries is an important element. She plays with the two dimensional shape of the painting and gives it a sense of space that you enter. This is the place were the silent material tells stories. Her background with fabric is seen in the multitude of different textures Every single image has it’s own journey, with emotion and precision. Creation and destruction is seen continuously as she creates new layers and cover up the joy, and the struggle pulls in to the observers body. The time taken to complete the paintings is clearly seen in this layering, sometimes in the thickness and structure of the paint. Time is also a great importance for Hellerud. For her time increase the quality and value of the work ,and give it quality. “My work belong to the abstract painting, with a multitude of possible variations, lyrical, geometrical, spontaneous, bimorf, thick layers or minimalistic”, Hellerud once said. The multitude of possible variations the paintings often increases with the viewers whose stories they tell. She works her way into the painting, and strive to give and imprint to the invisible. The word Synesthesia means “joined sensation” ,and it refers to an involuntary physical experience .It s about perception ,color , movement, shape, lines and lead us to impression ,and where art comes from, and how to discover it.

The opening reception will take place on 22nd March, between 6-8 pm. The Exhibition will be on the view through May 25, 2012

Departure
SoHo, October, 2011
Curator Basak Malone’s project ‘Departure’ sets 10 artists into motion questioning how to let go. “Letting go” is what we are left to reconcile with and this is where we are asked to make a leap continuously and impromptu.

“Departure from pretentiousness. Passage out of mediocracy. Good-bye to black/white-seeing. Farewell to dulled-out love. Escape from hypocrisy. Separation from bad faith. Vacation from hierarchy. Deviation from the expected. Innovation to the unknown. Shift of rules. Variation into live music. Wandering in the clouds. Outgoing for the embrace. Initial motion from slavery. Last exit to Brooklyn*. Hasta la Vista baby. Adieu mon amour. Kick the habit. Removing of the shells. Dissapear into the sunset. Point of embarkation. Winging one’s flight. Leaving the past. Exception to the norm. Avoidance as a strategy. Difference of beauty. Prevention from the inevitable. Annihilation of being. Cessation of debris. Collapse of failure. Oblivion to taste. Dying…Contrasting life. Exodus. Liberation from duality. Distinction of meaningfulness.
Departure of the artistry… ”

*In reference to ”Last Exit to Brooklyn Bridge” drama film based on the novel by Hubert Selby Jr. , directed by Uli Edel and starring Jennifer Jason Leigh, 1989.
