Helen Norton has long been drawn to Dante Alighieri’s epic 14th Century poem, ‘The Divine Comedy’. ‘The Divine Road’ is a theme not previously explored and she has embraced it to produce an exciting, dramatic and vibrant new body of work that applies Dante’s themes to her perception of life’s challenges in the 21st Century.
The three clear sections of work in ‘The Divine Road’ may be seen as a progressive journey through Norton’s own Divine Comedy, from ‘Oasis of Fire (Sandfire)’, to ‘Purgatory Mountain’ and culminating in the most recent works painted from her new studio in the Perth hills, the ‘Divine Road’, which can be interpreted as a metaphorical paradise.
Thoughout her career Norton has given the viewer a smorgasbord of fantasy, allegory and humour. ‘The Divine Road’ is an outstanding new stage in her journey and one that will intrigue and delight her enthusiastic collectors.
