The child in Helnwein’s works embodies and serves as a proxy for psychological and societal fears. He also uses his images to denounce Nazism or to address the Holocaust, as well as the taboo subject of abuse. Helnwein is considered a provocateur to this day. He still succeeds in shaking up people with his works, which are produced from photographic references and which captivate us through their technical perfection. Gottfried Helnwein provides an overview of his creative work during the past twenty years.
