Under Autumn Skies: The Art of Chris Zambon & AS Helwig

In this view room, we explore the vibrant yet introspective works of artists Chris Zambon and AS Helwig. Both women draw inspiration from the natural world, using color and form to evoke the beauty, power, and emotion that autumn skies inspire. Through their distinct techniques and styles, their works embody the duality of light and darkness, movement and stillness.
"Perhaps together we can do a bit of good while living under these skies." – AS Helwig
Chris Zambon’s luminous landscapes and still lifes celebrate color and movement. Rooted in the tradition of Plein Air painting, her work brings the world to life through spontaneous brushstrokes and bold, prismatic hues. Zambon’s free-flowing style creates a rhythmic interplay of light and shadow, echoing the dynamic atmosphere of nature itself. From still lifes bathed in natural light to abstracted vistas, her pieces invite viewers to feel the energy of the world around them. AS Helwig, on the other hand, delves into deeper questions of life and purpose through her sky paintings. For her, painting is both a spiritual and meditative act. Helwig's works explore themes of resilience, hope, and the cyclical nature of existence, offering moments of reflection on life’s profound questions. Her process of deconstructing and reconstructing an image mirrors the inner transformations we experience over time, with her skies serving as a metaphor for both life’s beauty and its uncertainties. Together, these artists use their unique approaches to capture the essence of autumn—the season of change, introspection, and fleeting beauty. Their works foster a dialogue between color and emotion, inviting viewers to experience not only the visible world but also the unseen emotional landscapes that lie beneath it.
