HELMBOLD
“Auch wenn Dagmar und Thomas Helmbold beim Malen Philosophie und
Poesie, Musik und Literatur, Geschichte und Gegenwart gleichermaßen
im Kopf haben, sobald sie als Bild ins Bild ziehen, geschieht das nicht
intentional, sondern prozessual. Als Idee beim Malen, nicht als Idee vor
dem Malen. Die Gedanken entwickeln sich aus dem Machen heraus,
nicht das Machen aus den Gedanken. Genau dieser Ansatz macht die
Malerei der Helmbolds so vital und energetisch.”
-Michael Stoeber
“Although Dagmar and Thomas HelmBold alike have in mind while
painting philosophy and poetry, music and literature, past and present,
as soon as they pull into the picture as a picture, this is not done
intentionally, but procedurally. As an idea, while painting, not as an idea
before painting. Thoughts evolve out of the making, not making the
thought. It is this approach makes the painting of the helmet bolds so
vital and energetic.”
-Michael Stoeber
