Solo Exhibition

Free, Tuesday to Friday 10–6, Saturday and Sunday 11–4

‘en Plein Air’ by London-based artist Helena Traill is a celebration of colour, light, and nature. As a young neurodivergent painter, Helena uses the practice of plein air painting to connect deeply with the landscapes she captures. Her vibrant oil paintings reflect fleeting moments in nature, combining emotional depth with tonal harmony to create sensory narratives.

The six-week exhibition at 28 Flowers in Chelsea offers a unique opportunity for visitors to engage with Helena’s creative world. An interactive painting experience invites guests to contribute their own brushstrokes to a collaborative artwork that evolves throughout the show. Additional events, including artist talks, workshops, ‘meet the artist’ sessions, and floristry demonstrations, provide a deeper understanding of Helena’s process and inspirations.

Original paintings are available to purchase, along with an accessible selection of curated merchandise featuring some of Traill's most popular works. This exhibition invites audiences to pause, reflect, and explore the natural world through Helena’s neurodivergent perspective, where colour and place come alive in a unique and immersive way.

  • “Helena Traill’s work is filled with the spirit of place - it is in the moment and of the moment. Luminous and uplifting.”

    Kate Kellaway, Observer Critic

  • "Helena Traill’s work allows us to glimpse how the artist experiences and absorbs the very spirit of the land, finding drama and beauty in familiar places through light, colour, and movement."

    – Ashley Gray, Gray M.C.A Director

  • "Helena Traill’s work bridges authenticity and modernity, offering a vibrant translation of place that resonates with a new generation of collectors seeking hope and bright comfort in artistic creation. She is one to watch."

    Flo Horswell, Art Curator

  • “Helena Traill paints from life, capturing the landscape immediately in her unique way. With a bold brush, vivid colour and space, she invites us into a world where we are free to imagine and memories catch up, filling the canvas.”

    Jillian Duke, CCA Galleries Managing Director
