About

Gottfried Helnwein (born October 8, 1948 in Vienna) is an Austrian-Irish fine artist, photographer, installation and performance artist.Helnwein studied at the University of Visual Art in Vienna (Akademie der Bildenden Knste, Wien).

He was awarded the Master-class prize (Meisterschulpreis) of the University of Visual Art, Vienna, the Kardinal-König prize and the Theodor-Körner prize.

He has worked as a painter, draftsman, photographer, muralist, sculptor, installation- and performance artist, using a wide variety of techniques and media.

His early work consists mainly of hyper-realistic watercolors, depicting wounded children, as well as performances - often with children - in public spaces. Helnwein is a conceptual artist, concerned primarily with psychological and sociological anxiety, historical issues and political topics. As a result of this, his work is often considered provocative and controversial.Viennese-born Helnwein is part of a tradition going back to the 18th century, to which Messerschmidt's grimacing sculptures belong. One sees, too, the common ground of his works with those of Hermann Nitsch and Rudolf Schwarzkogler, two other Viennese, who display their own bodies in the frame of reference of injury, pain, and death. One can also see this fascination for body language goes back to the expressive gesture in the work of Egon Schiele.

Helnweins subject matter involves the complexities of the human condition. His disturbing yet provocative images of physically and emotionally wounded children have been seen as metaphors for larger global issues. He portrays the innocence of adolescence against the backdrop of historical events like the Holocaust to highlight the fragility of humanity in an unstable world.Another strong element in his work are comics. Helnwein has sensed the superiority of cartoon life over real life ever since he was a child. A biographical story, explains his obsession with Disney characters. Growing up in dreary, destructed post-war Vienna, the young boy was surrounded by unsmiling people haunted by a recent past they could never speak about. What changed his life was the first German-language Disney comic book that his father brought home one day. Opening the book felt like finally arriving in a world where he belonged:"...a decent world where one could get attened by steam-rollers and perforated by bullets without serious harm. A world in which the people still looked proper, with yellow beaks or black knobs instead of noses." (Helnwein)

'Helnweins oeuvre embraces total antipodes: The trivial, for example, the Disney-culture, alternates with visions of spiritual doom, the divine in the child contrasts with horror-images of child-abuse. But violence remains to be his basic theme, - the physical and the emotional suffering, inflicted by one human being unto another.'

Helnwein is also known for his stage and costume designs of theater, ballet and opera productions. Amongst them Hamburg State Opera, Volksbühne Berlin, Stuttgart National Theatre, Deutsches Schauspielhaus Hamburg, Los Angeles Opera and Israeli Opera Tel Aviv.

Education
* 1982 Helnwein was offered a chair by the University of Applied Sciences in Hamburg, which he declined.

* 1985 one man show at the Albertina, Vienna. Rudolf Hausner, recommended Helnwein as his successor as professor of the master-class for painting at the University of Visual Art in Vienna, but Helnwein left Vienna and moved to Germany.

* The film "Helnwein", produced by the German and Austrian National televisions, received the Adolf-Grimme prize for best television-documentary, the Eduard-Rhein prize and the Goldenen Kader award.

* Besides his realistic work, Helnwein also began to develop abstract, expressive styles of painting during this period.

* 1988, In remembrance of "Kristallnacht", the actual beginning of the Holocaust - 50 years earlier, Helnwein erected a 100 meter long installation in the city center of Cologne, between Ludwig Museum and the Cologne Cathedral. Just days into the exhibit, these portraits were vandalized by unknown persons, symbolically cutting the throats of the depicted children's faces.

Since then large scale installations in public spaces became an important part of his work.

* 1990 Helnwein began to focus on digital photography and computer-generated images which he often combines with classical oil-painting techniques.

* 1994 Stage design, costumes, and make-up for Macbeth, a production of Hans Kresnik's Choreographic Theatre at Volksbhne Berlin. The play was awarded the Theatre Prize of Berlin.

* Helnwein curated and organized the first Museum-exhibition of Disney-artist Carl Barks, the creator of the Donald Duck universe, Uncle Scrooge and Duckburg. The retrospective was shown in 10 European Museums and seen by more than 400,000 visitors.

* 1997 Moved to Ireland.

* In the same year the State Russian Museum in St. Petersburg organizes a Helnwein retrospective and publishes a monograph of the artist.

* Photo-session with the German industrial metal band Rammstein. Their album "Sehnsucht" is released with six different covers by Gottfried Helnwein.

* 2000 The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and other American museums show Helnwein's work.

* 2001 Stage and costume design for the Hamburgische Staatsoper of Igor Stravinskys opera "The Rake's Progress".

* 2002 He established a studio in Los Angeles.

* 2003 Premiere of the Helnwein documentary Neunter November Nacht (Ninth November Night) at the Museum of Tolerance, Simon Wiesenthal Center, Los Angeles.

* Collaboration with Marilyn Manson on the multi-media project "The Golden Age of Grotesque" and video productions like "Doppelherz" and "mOBSCENE".

* Installation and performance with Manson at the Volksbhne Berlin.

* Collaboration with Sean Penn on the Music Video 'The Barry Williams Show' by Peter Gabriel.

* 2004 "The Child" one-man show at the California Palace of the Legion of Honor, San Francisco Fine Arts Museums. The exhibition is seen by 130,000 visitors.

* Collaboration with Maximilian Schell for the Richard Strauss opera "Der Rosenkavalier at the Los Angeles Opera and the Israeli Opera Tel Aviv.
