About the Item

When Yoakim Bélanger conceives his paintings, he thinks of the physicality of bodies and spaces which he paints, it is also with the eye of the film maker and the graphic designer. He pays great attention to the layout, framing and to the meticulous interplay of shadow and light. Thanks to this hybridity, he manages to sublimate the carnal texture of the naked bodies appearing of and in the material and to highlight the impulses and emotions which inhabit these bodies. The artist ceaselessly constructs and deconstructs figurative image and pictorial material to reveal the expressive power of an uncommon place: the gap between the abstract and the figurative, between order and chaos, the shade and light, organic and architectural, the feminine and the masculine. His reflection focuses on the identification of a gray area between these dualities which fascinate him, an area he prefers to consider in terms of a point of contact. Refusing to choose between both terms of the opposition, since in his conception, one does not go without the other, he gives form and substance to this « in-between space » which, because it separates as much as it binds, contains the sum of the grades of each of the terms. Hence the powerful vibrating, emotional and symbolic force of this space! The seat par excellence of the tipping point, this liminal space is of a transformational dynamic whose equilibrium point – because it is inevitably fragile and precarious – must be constantly renewed to be appreciated.

    Helene and Eric Bess are a team who have been collaborating for over 20 years. Both are professional artists with extensive experience in both the commercial and fine art fields. They presently work out of their studio in Florida, creating original art for gallery display, fine art crafts and taking commissions for murals & embellishments. Helene was born in Canada in 1949. She studied art in Europe as a young adult and attended Phoenix Pratt School of Design in New York and St. Petersburg Community College in Florida. She worked for advertising agencies and freelance art projects such as theater design and t-shirt designs for several companies. She owned and operated an art studio (“Artistic Endeavors”) in Melbourne, Fl. for five years. She started doing murals and embellishments (residential and commercial) from 1992 till present. She considers her early life in Europe the major source of her artistic influence as well as the works of Modigliani. Eric was born in Missouri in 1950. He started drawing literally as an infant and has never stopped. He was taking commissions for book covers & wall designs in his teens and studied art at Auburn University and The University of Alabama. He taught art in public schools in Alabama in the ‘70s. He worked as art director at Huntsville Educational Television for 6 years, as art director at Southern Sportswear in Daytona for 9 years, at Creative Signs & Designs in Flagler, Fl. for 6 years, and as a freelance artist and co-owner (with his wife Helene) of “BessStudio” (formerly “Artistic Innovations Inc.”) since 1998.
