Press Release

Octavia Art Gallery is pleased to present a solo exhibition of works by Bruce Helander, who is considered the most prominent collage artist in America. The show follows his most recent exhibition in the Chelsea art district of Manhattan, where he introduced a series of large-scale works based on collage studies that incorporate imagery produced by Pablo Picasso in the 1930s.

Helander worked exclusively in collage compositions since graduating from the prestigious Rhode Island School of Design, and later was a regular contributing artist to The New Yorker Magazine. During the last decade the artist pursued experiments in collage that were intended as maquettes for large scale paintings on canvas.
