About the Item
Batista apprehends different materials and different supports such as resin, inclusion, concrete, wood, neon, oil and acrylic painting. He sculpts and paints everything that concerns him.
His artistic work is often ambiguous and symbolic, he assures that;
“Art is a freedom of expression of which only the Artist limits the borders”
To this day always concerned by painting, that allows him to relax in its simplicity. His paintings are based on abstract impressionism . He tries to represent things as simply as possible without any frills or excess so that people can project their own ideas and own vision through his work (the representation of a flower pot)

Helder Batista
Helder Batista is a self taught artist who works predominantly in sculptural medium. Born in 1964 in Paris and now living and working near Cahors, he describes the genesis of his artistic career as an epiphany.
Batista is intrigued by the complexity and potential of everyday objects, even those as mundane as bicycle’s tires. Batista decided to insert himself and interrupt societal structures that destine such objects to “a vocation of waste.” In his exploration of materials, Batista discovered that his ‘found’ objects could function as support, medium and subject, or as self sustained complete works of art. Batista avoids polluting his found objects even through his own curatorial presence, arguing that assigning value to some over others creates contaminating waste. Instead Batista sublimates, recycles and allows his materials space to articulate themselves. Often a simple clear acrylic mold utilized in works like Lego or Red Shoes is enough of a change in context to infuse everyday objects with artistic poignancy.
In constant communication with Pop art, most of his pieces are intentionally ambiguous. Batista’s work cuts in multiple directions depending on context and audience. His series of Flag Guns, where he uses the form of a revolver wrapped in a flag and solidified with a fiber rising coat, has multivalent layers of meaning. When ’Second Amendment’ or ‘Made in America’ are displayed together they can be read as playful subversions of a symbol of power. To others they are biting political satire on American Imperialism, or high rates of gun ownership. Meanwhile, when they are paired with the Soviet Union Flag Guns they become historical and charged with Cold War symbolism and the arms race. However, when wrapped in a checkered flag, his Flag Gun becomes a Starting Gun and any abstruse political symbolism is lost. Batista himself refuses to elaborate on the symbolism of his flags beyond admitting that he is toying with the power of symbols. On this most fundamental level, Batista is visually demonstrating that art has no political borders.
Batista’s larger oeuvre explores themes of nonsense, consumerism, globalization and overconsumption without searching for concrete explanations. By toying rather than pontificating, Batista can be playful while also gesturing at serious dissonances in society; Batista welcomes discussion, but resists projections of specific programs onto his pieces
