About the Artist:

Helgard Zurmühl’s work intricately weaves together the cultural and natural elements of Germany and India. A striking installation greets visitors upon entering the gallery, featuring large, exotic dried fruits from an unknown Indian tree, adorned with gold and silver spray, suspended from transparent threads to create an ethereal floating effect.

Zurmühl’s pieces often incorporate natural materials, Indian calendar pages, and prayer flags, affixed with glue to various surfaces. Each artwork carries a spiritual message, emphasizing the importance of the present moment. “It was about bringing together images from India and Germany, interweaving their differences,” she explains.

The exhibition features 60 pieces, revealing the duality of her creative process. The transcendent color plays, reminiscent of India, contrast with the intricate figures and nudes crafted in Germany. Living on two continents, Zurmühl’s art reflects her diverse experiences and inspirations.

Born in Heilbronn and residing in Tübingen when not in India, Zurmühl has been deeply influenced by both European and Indian art. Her journey began with a fascination for “One Thousand and One Nights,” leading her to travel to India during her university holidays and eventually settle in Auroville since 2003, while spending summers in Germany.

Artistic Journey:

Since 1999, Zurmühl has exhibited her work in solo and group shows across Germany, neighboring countries, and India. Her artistic evolution spans from nude sculptures and paintings to experimental, abstract creations, utilizing diverse materials from various cultures. Her paintings express the moods of the moment, ranging from meditative to vibrant and dynamic, embodying a sense of freedom and spontaneity.

Notably, her largest stainless steel sculpture, standing 6 meters high, was funded by the Indian government for Auroville’s 50th anniversary. She has other stainless steel reliefs and sculptures planned for the IIT Compound in Chennai, India.

Join us to experience the profound interweaving of cultures and materials in Helgard Zurmühl’s evocative art.
