Guido van Helten

Australia

Guido van Helten is an Australian, internationally-based artist working in the field of contemporary street art undertaken through a site-specific exploration of cultural identity to be re-envisaged as large scale public works.
These projects are undertaken with the intention of initiating constructive visual connections between communities and site-specific urban spaces inclusive of a broader context of cultural, social and national identity narratives. Combining cultural research, documentary based photography and community engagement, this method of working seeks to generate a broad relation to emotive qualities in the selection and placement of imagery whilst promoting social discussion.
