Helena Traill 'en plein air'

A Fresh Take on Impressionism: Meet Young Painter Helena Traill
The Impressionists revolutionised the art world by taking their easels outdoors. Now, London-based artist Helena Traill breathes new life into the plein air tradition with her vibrant oil landscapes, inspired by Monet and Morisot but rooted firmly in the present day. Her debut solo exhibition, ‘en plein air,’ runs from 31st January to 9th March 2025 at 28 Flowers Gallery in Chelsea.
"Helena Traill’s work is filled with the spirit of place - luminous and uplifting," says Kate Kellaway, Observer critic. Ashley Gray, Director of Gray M.C.A, adds, "Helena bridges authenticity and modernity, offering a vibrant translation of place that resonates with a new generation of collectors."
Helena Traill’s work reflects her neurodivergent perspective, translating landscapes into immersive sensory experiences. Her plein air practice focuses on capturing the fleeting beauty of nature, blending spontaneity with refined tonal harmony. The exhibition features 28 original oil paintings and is on display at 28 Flowers now!
