An exquisite illustrator with a shrewd eye.
During her drawing career for Vogue and Vanity Fair, and as a former member of the "Panic group" in Paris (with Fernando Arrabal, Roland Topor, and Roman Cieslewicz), Hélène Tran was the creative force behind some remarkably cosmopolitan and successful projects.
Hélène Tran, designed the window displays for Seibu in Tokyo,
illustrated Hermès' "Tour du Monde", and created ads for
Absolut Vodka, chinaware for Shiseido in Japan, and cross-stitches kits for
DMC, renewing their global image as a result. Recently, she illustrated Montana's
2005/2006 furniture campaign in Copenhagen.
In her home city of Paris, she regularly publishes in magazines, including
Maison Française and Point de Vue, for which she illustrates the "Adélaïde
and the city" page every week.
Last winter, she exhibited her collection
of unique paper lanterns for the Baccarat Crystal Museum.
Once a month, she draws "le mur noir", the black wall in the Baccarat
restaurant's "Cristal Room".
Several exhibits have been devoted to her works. She recently displayed ‘In
Your Arms’, a series of "detonating" engravings that she had
been perfecting in her Caracas, Venezuela workshop.
Hélène Tran is exhibiting at the Pixi Gallery of Marie-Victoire
Poliakoff in Paris this coming Christmas.
