Aly Helyer “Weight of Love” solo exhibition at Almine Rech Brussels, on view until March 1st

The exhibition captures the intricacies of human connection with poetic subtlety. Foregoing theatrics, Helyer’s work delves into the nuanced interplay of affection, vulnerability, and identity through an evocative exploration of touch and relationships. Her richly layered, color-saturated canvases blur the boundaries between figuration and abstraction, endowing her subjects with an ethereal, timeless presence. Subtle asymmetries and exaggerated features disrupt traditional notions of beauty, reflecting contemporary culture’s fixation on image. Balancing cheekiness with melancholy, her pieces reframe perceptions of intimacy and self, offering a tactile and deeply personal reflection on the multifaceted nature of love.
