Seal - the Letter Artwork

Helena Chastel creates sculpture that transforms metal into geometric forms and Platonic shapes. Working in steel, bronze and copper, Chastel fabricates objects that are informed by science, philosophy, mathematics, nature and antiquity. Using several techniques to transfer images onto metal of all scales, the artist imbues her forms with conceptual gravity, grounding them with steadfast formal value. In some of her series, Chastel builds up the surface of her objects with rich and vibrant colors on patinated copper plates, while exploring the Golden Ratio. For her new series, Chastel transfers images of mountain ranges onto metal to create Platonic shapes such as the Tetrahedron, the Dodecahedron and the Cube. Modular and multifaceted, each sculpture hums with bright splashes of color and divine geometry.
