Born and raised in Zimbabwe, Helen’s work addresses decoloniality and ecology, using her physical context as a catalyst for bridging epistemic divides. Paint is a living medium and partner in this process, and she regards her paintings as active interlocutors.
Drawing from personal experiences as well as philosophical and poetic works, she delves into the mythologies and taboos that influence the ways we live in the world, taking inspiration from the queer and unruly beings that haunt society and remind it of its fragility. Her recent work presents such beings in a process of becoming that is both abject and hopeful.
Helen Teede is one of Zimbabwe’s most iconic up and coming artists, with her works showing in galleries all over the world. This 12” x 12” piece is framed in a 16” x 16” frame.

Everything always had to be in perfect order growing up… shoes lined up on the closet floor and clothes neatly folded and in their place.
It’s taken me many years to understand and embrace disorder and even chaos. My paintings are pieces that evolve.. layers of paint and hours of uncertainty. Putting paint down and wiping off are all part of the seductive process. I am strongly influenced by Mother Nature’s unrivaled and unpredictable beauty…especially her vast display of light, color, texture and movement.
Flying with my husband in his small plane over the East Coast has been a constant source of inspiration … with a very different perspective. It’s not necessary to see something in my work… I’m hoping for an emotional response to the beauty and sensuality that is oil paint.
This piece, Floaters, comes framed and measures 14.5" x 12.5" x 1"
