In her painting, Helene Appel reflects the things of everyday life
with high precision. Whether it is a piece of meat, lettuce leaves,
fishing nets, twigs, plastic bags or puddles, Appel presents her
cropped subjects in plan view, on untreated canvas in a realistic
scale. If one takes a closer look, though, this attitude reveals
its radical nature. Detaching herself completely from the tradition
of still life, Appel does not strive to develop a painterly
signature, does not emphasize her distinctive ductus. Instead, she
carefully seeks an adequate mode of expression for each of her
pictorial objects, thus emphasizing their particular physical
presence. Despite the realistic representation, Appel's works evoke
a sense of a high degree of abstraction. The impression is that of
a distanced look that creates a tension between the familiar and
the unaccustomed questioning the relationship we have to our
environment.
