Helene Knoop, 1979 | Figurative / Narrative painter

By Art periods and styles , , ,

Helene Knoop has studied under Odd Nerdrum and became part of the renowned “Nerdrum School” where philosophical ideas are as equally important as the handcraft.

A six-pages article showing her work and interview was published in the flight magazine, Scanorama in 2004. Good sales results and publicity have been achieved at her solo-exhibitions.
Her last solo show was in 2005, at Amells Gallery in London.
