PICTURES FROM MY SLEEPING PARADISES
ADVANCE DREAMER OF AN ALTERNATIVE REALITY
Helmut Kand is always on the lookout. On his travels through the continents he gathers sights, notions, desires, experiences, pleasures and half-finished daydreams. His palette radiates cascades of joie de vivre.
Colours are the first thing about his pictures, which attract attention and capture the gaze, stimuli to explore the content. The paintings invite lingering, reflecting one possible reality of our world, enhanced with moods,
visions, thrills, joy, eroticism and irony while remaining true to the poetic surrealism on which it is based. Intended excursions to the daydream world provoke cheerfulness, sensuality and reflection, arousing the desire for an expedition into his art.
Helmut Kands style is so distinctive, it can even be recognized by the titles alone.
What happened so far?
a day like a candy kiss,
a long day is the guarantee for a strange visit,
a village buys a city face,
all signs meet in hong kong,
aroma garden of a blue nosed lady,
asking ones way on the beach,
banana moon tired of the summer,
broadcasted play of oneself,
cats night all day long,
coffee wind,
cruising the pianofingerland on telepathy course,
curtain up for the summer,
cyclist with a cactus tongue,
cyclops in a private garden of paradise,
date with a fragrant country girl,
decisions are made by the whisperers,
disentanglement of distress when dusk is falling,
doubt about the information of the swimming pool attendant,
dream chaos of a sleeping village,
dream remains cooled from the last snow,
drifting in a self-made current,
earth mother and her son who sails the seas,
eros bay with bouncing wishes,
erotic party in a fleecy clouds garden,
eye lashes curtain,
fly back, if you still can,
flying into waking up,
girl with a rainbow tongue and simple vocabulary,
granseigneur, aware of the weather,
harmony not scheduled,
head travelling faster than heart,
high tide has overslept,
humidity feeler,
hurried up from all sides and still in motion,
in good-luck-charm bay,
in my head with you in your garden,
inner landscape - pushed outside,
island peak leading a double life,
island with false modesty,
jealousy has more than two faces,
jealousy sleeps like a cat,
labyrinth of the angel like mountain flyer,
landscape for sun clocks,
lighthouse lilies in a sleeping meadow,
love must breathe at night,
lucky current of the nonsense steamer,
luna park for birds,
manual for one and the same,
miss stewardess cant make up her mind,
nest of the four winds,
night lends an ear to the whisperers,
night rewards the no names,
one morning the masks got stuck,
one of a number of fleeting decisions,
palm milk warrior and palm nest owner birds,
parking for wind swept memories and worn out feelings,
patience with captain leos and his diving mask,
patience with the engineers of athens,
peace in the sky, all stars at home,
perfumed neck of the sun,
port for storytellers,
return and cooling of the mask,
school for halo bearers,
showroom forest and holy water lake,
signals to patience,
the artificial happiness of the deckchairs,
the caramel taste of shade,
the charming gardener of clouds,
the day after the lemon colour rain,
the island wears houses like brooches,
the lighthouse is the suns neck,
the narcosis element,
the night watchmans eyes at night,
the nights own perfume,
the owner of the rain wet cats heart,
the politeness of the early summer,
the precision and the head under current,
the protector of the quiet afternoon,
the rainbow lighthouse,
the silhouette society bathes and exchanges its desires,
the suns night face,
the vocabulary of the scent minded,
the weather prompter,
the wind is a caring gardener,
the wind is a dream seller with a chalk voice,
traces of fragile ploughing,
transparency of expectations,
treasure map, totally faked,
trying to touch a highness,
visitors luck on the forget-me-not-beach,
what counts lies higher than the sea of fog,
wind heads with their seven possessions,
wind with a chalk voice,
you are kissed from all sides while you sleep
