Faces. Couples. People. – From the Mind
His name is Jorge Heilpern, an economist, a philosopher, a musician, an artist in the wildest sense of the word.
Let me introduce you to his “Internal puppets” as he calls them.
He says that “they have been with me since my earliest dreams and began to make themselves seen on paper more than half a century ago. They have shared the different moods in my mind and like my music they represent my deepest and nameless feelings beyond the language of words.”
The never-ending task of learning through sheer practice and the illiterate knowledge acquired by mere gazing continues to fill the hours of the artist’s daily life in a volitional exercise, almost unconscious. It is not his intention to replicate the physical realm but rather to communicate the feeling or sense that there is something beyond.
Like his music, Jorge Heilpern believes that his artwork is “emotional, intuitive, visceral, energetic and exciting to the eye of the beholder.”
He was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina to Romanian and Polish parents and has lived in the United States for many years, mostly in Woodstock NY, New York City, Washington DC and now in Miami.
He has been awarded an Emmy for his music on an NBC television show, performed at the Woodstock Festival 1994, toured all over the United States, South America and Europe and has released various records.
Jorge Heilpern, who has been silently drawing for many years, has decided to share his work at this particular point in his life.
As an emerging artist he has exhibited his work at MOCA, the Boca Raton Museum of Art, Art Palm Beach 2010 and Museum of Art in Ft. Lauderdale.
