bright ideas; Sophie von Hellermann brings her wry paintings to New York.
Sophie von Hellermann came out of the gate running. The same year she graduated from the Royal College of Art in London in 2001, she had three shows of her own-one of them at the famed Saatchi Gallery, no less. Next came the Pompidou's much-talked-about "Dear Painter" show, where she was featured alongside such international art stars as Sigmar Polke and Elizabeth Peyton. Now she's about to have her New York debut-a group of her large, raw, pale, and deliberately naive paintings goes on view at the Greene-Naftali Gallery on May 12. (Her work can also be seen at Deitch Projects as part of the blithe German artists' collective that calls itself the Hobbypop Museum.)
The new paintings are "loosely based on time and time travel," says Hellermann. "I'm taking my cue from Einstein, 'cause it's Einstein's year," she says, referring to the fact that it's been 100 years since his discovery of E=mc2. Broad-brushed washes of acrylic colors look as if they had floated right out of her dreams. Painted from memory or imagination, her subjects run the gamut from Marcel Duchamp to Mick Jagger, and now Einstein. Like Peyton's, her characters are quite often historical figures-or good friends.
