This exhibition, 'Entramados. Pintura y traje', by French artist Hélène Picard, explores the relationship between painting and costume. It showcases a poetic spatial arrangement where painted figures emerge from garments and costumes become pictorial sculptures, highlighting the material and formal connections between the two disciplines.
Hélène Picard, a French artist based in Madrid since 2000, presents her latest project, 'Entramados,' at the Museo del Traje, featuring a collection of paintings and costumes. The exhibition is conceived as a curated journey through distinct stages, designed to explore and illustrate the intrinsic connections between the art of painting and the craft of costume making. Picard's work creates a unique plastic and poetic spatial experience for visitors, demonstrating how art and couture can complement each other. Through the manipulation of matter, form, color, and line, both a costume and a painting can serve as powerful expressions of our inner worlds. The exhibition begins with the transformation of a flat pattern's form into a three-dimensional volume. Gradually, it unfolds into a narrative where the costume, akin to a pictorial sculpture, envelops characters derived from the paintings. Simultaneously, the paintings guide the viewer through energetic brushstrokes and dynamic figures, evoking sensations of joy or mystery. In this synthesis, the costume, united with painting, attains a plastic and timeless dimension, while remaining a human-scale garment. This allows viewers to identify with the art, step into the more abstract realm of the paintings, and participate in the creation of new emotional and poetic "weavings."
