Helen Cass

Helen graduated from the Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art at Oxford University, before undertaking an MA, and most recently a Ph.D., in Fine Art at the University of Wales.

Her work focuses on surface, texture and repetition and she is intrigued by the minutest variations of fabric and light. The combination of monochrome colour and the repetitive folding or stitching of the canvas surface creates an almost hypnotic quality and whilst the majority of Helen’s paintings have no obvious focal point, they continue to demand our attention. The eye is happy to dance over the surface of the paintings following the lines Helen creates, leaving the viewer feeling calm and centred, as if in meditation.

Helen’s work has been exhibited widely throughout England and Wales and she continues to receive an ever-increasing number of commissions, including paintings for the Calvin Klein, Head Office in London and various pieces for a growing number of private collectors.
