about the artist

For local Walthamstow artist Helen Chambers, each painting is a journey of discovery. As she layers paint upon the surface she is continually responding to the ever-changing palette, marks and textures before her. The natural world is her anchor and she employs an expressive, intuitive approach to mark making – taking the finished works outside the boundaries of realism. Her landscapes sit in that intriguing space between abstraction and representation – vibrant and immersive.

the story

“You Rock Me” forms part of Helen’s ongoing series of paintings written as visual letters to her younger self. At the centre of the series sits a simple reassurance - even when life feels uncertain and creativity seems to drift out of reach, something steady lies ahead.

This work focuses on passionate love - the kind that arrives with force and shifts everything slightly off balance, in the best possible way. Bold, sweeping gestures of colour layer warmth against deeper tones, creating a sense of movement and intensity across the surface. The painting acknowledges how transformative love can be - how it redirects, energises and leaves a lasting mark long after its first spark.
