These paintings are about America, I guess from a very European point of view.
They're based on photographs, mainly newspaper photographs, of the Fifties and Sixties from archives in New York and L.A. Most people in these pictures are real people, caught in some long forgotten, petty events.
I rearranged the scenes, introduced new characters, and created new relationships and contexts. And then I painted them in black and blue.
That's how I remember America back then in the early Fifties in Vienna, where I was born. The big war had ended a few years ago, but the city still seemed undecided as to whether this was the end of the world or if life should go on.
It was a strange, sad and surreal world. The streets were empty, the houses dark - many of them in ruins from the bombings.
The few people I saw seemed ugly, clumsy, and depressed.
I never saw anybody laughing and I never heard anybody sing. It was a world without sound and colour. Everything moved in slow motion, like slime. We had no phones, no television, no cars, no music, no pictures, except the paintings of tortured people in the Roman Catholic church which made a deep impression on me, haunting me in the sleepless nights of my childhood limbo.
And then, without any warning, suddenly there was America.
When I saw the first picture of Elvis I was in a state of shock, because I couldn't believe that a human being could be so beautiful.
That was the beginning of the never-ending flood of American images that suddenly came over us and started to penetrate and transform everything. ... +

-La versatilità sperimentale di Helnwein sfugge ad ogni classificazione . spesso ci si dimentica anche del suo coinvolgimento attivo nell'antipsichiatria e contro l'autoritarismo a favore del disarmo e di una maggiore presa di coscienza dei problemi ecologici . Le opere più recenti di Helnwein lo vedono particolarmente attento nel rilevare la sensazione di crisi permanente a livello emozionale , il suo lavoro è carico di quasi tutte le manifestazioni della violenza , storiche e attuali . Il doppio ruolo dell'artista , quale vittima e carnefice , mandante ed esecutore e molte altre metamorfosi ; impersona e rappresenta le forze sociali antagoniste sul palcoscenico della propia coscienza . Con Helnwein e con le generazioni dei trentenni di oggi il sentimento romantico dell'avanguardia ha raggiunto una tensione radicale : l'artista come mancato , deluso avversario del borghese , diventa un martire di una rivoluzione che non ha raggiunto l'emancipazione dell'individuo . Perciò il ritorno del romanticismo porta anche con Helnwein a forzare uno dei suoi aspetti : la stilizzazione sotto forma di autoritratto di una protesta introversa fino al martirio , che storicamente è legato in modo contraddittorio all'opposizione sociale , alla ribellione , all'utopia .

DAMANTHAL: ENTRE HELNWEIN Y LA CIENCIA
por Julia Elena Sagaseta

La génesis de El experimento Damanthal parte del universo plástico, porque el director, Javier Margulis, ofrece a los intérpretes un mundo imaginario, el de Helnwein, un artísta austríaco contemporáneo que comienza a exponer en los años 70 y está ligado, al comienzo de su carrera, al Accionismo Vienés. Helnwein es un artista polifacético que también escapa de los géneros (su inicial relación con un grupo relacionado con la neovanguardia ya anuncia esa actitud posterior) y pasa por etapas muy variadas: del hiperrealismo a la abstracción, la fotografía, las Acciones (en el sentido de Beuys), relaciones con el pop, con el diseño, con el comic. Creo que lo más destacado es la borradura de fronteras entre pintura y fotografía, desterritorializando ambas. Es, también como Beuys, un artista comprometido con su tiempo del que muestra la veta más terrible. Sus autorretratos forman series en técnicas diferentes, pero conforman un imaginario reiterado: la cabeza o el rostro vendados, con sangre, o bien la boca o los ojos con instrumentos quirúgicos. Hay también series de niños vendados, figuras con horribles cicatrices y una instalación terrible que realizó en Colonia en recuerdo de la Noche de los Cristales: enormes retratos de niños tristes que ocupaban varias calles entre el Museo Ludwig y la Catedral. Un arte nada complaciente y al mismo tiempo de una gran perfección técnica y una notable calidad plástica. ... +

Antje Vollmer: Zur Sloterdijk-Debatte
Die Reihe der großen Namen ist lang, die in den letzten Jahren in Verdacht und Verruf gerieten.
Botho Strauß, Anselm Kiefer, Martin Walser, Hans Magnus Enzensberger, Gottfried Helnwein, Peter Handke
- ihnen allen wurde "gefährliches Denken", Abdriften in "Untiefen" oder "Fischen im Trüben" vorgeworfen, wenn man sie nicht gleich verdächtigte, "faschistoid" zu denken, zu malen oder zu schreiben. ... +
