‘Helium Angel’ is a painting inflated by joy and sadness. The cloudscape appears to be somewhat overbearing, a representation of nature’s raw power and its dominance over our trivialities. However, the background is also one of majesty and beauty and provides a wonderful playground for a playful mind and a setting for the imagination to circumnavigate grief
The piece also explores reasons for faith and for an instinct to clutch at straws. The angel balloon is not a representation of a fervent belief, but of a simple hope. A hope that can easily be deflated or fall prey to a curious seagull.

Rory Mitchell is a contemporary Norwegian painter. Although his working process relies heavily on a solid draughtsmanship, over the years this has been incorporated in a number of art disciplines, primarily oil painting and gouache painting. His intent is that the distorted lines and emotive colours lend themselves to the narratives he creates.
Today Mitchell works mostly with oil on canvas and creates figurative paintings with rich color palettes and Expressionist undertones.
Rory Mitchell was born in 1977, in Scotland, where he graduated from the Edinburgh College of Art.
