THE TIMES
"....these landscapes"
.....these landscapes are undeniably attractive, awe-inspiring, compelling even. They work their magic through scale, vision and painterly skill.
...these photo-paintings appear even more real than a photograph: they are hyper-real, super-saturated depictions of the world that surrounds us, as we would like to see it. Helnwein's landscapes offer us the world as we see it in our mind's yee, our memories. What is certain is that with these works Helnwein has raised the bar for artists to come with art that is groundbreaking in terms of scale, skill and vision. Painted mountains, fields and sky can never be the same again...
