Hellen van Meene
Untitled #556

About the Item

Dutch artist Hellen van Meene is best known for her carefully staged portraits of adolescent girls, revealing the psychological tension and ambiguity of this transitional stage of life. Although based in reality, van Meene’s portraits have a distinctly detached and otherworldly quality to them. Her subjects often appear immersed in their own thoughts, their gaze fixed upon something out of the frame, or their eyes closed. The artist aims to produce a slowing down effect with her photographs, as she captures the moment between girlhood and womanhood, which is gone all too quickly. This timeless quality extends to the photographs themselves, which appear both contemporary and entirely from another era. For a recent series, van Meene enhanced this feeling of temporal and physical detachment by moving her portraits into the realm of fantasy.
