Among Germany’s seemingly innumerable young topnotch abstract painters Hellmich has a franchise in architecture derived complexities of zippy hard edges, delicately distressed surfaces and day dreamily sweet acrid colours. The pictures off-kilter rumpuses make you want to comprehend them. Fat chance. Negotiating Helmich’s decisive disorder is like clambering around a construction site in an earthquake.

Puddle thinking

Imagine a puddle waking up one morning and thinking, “This is an interesting world I find myself in, an interesting hole I find myself in, fits me rather neatly, doesn't it? In fact it fits me staggeringly well, must have been made to have me in it!”

This is such a powerful idea that as the sun rises in the sky and the air heats up and as, gradually, the puddle gets smaller and smaller, it's still frantically hanging on to the notion that everything’s going to be alright, because this world was meant to have him in it, was built to have him in it; so the moment he disappears catches him rather by surprise.

I think this may be something we need to be on the watch out for.

(Douglas Adams)
