About "So You Think This is Easy"
The teapot transformed into the snake (both are symbols of dual sexuality - *not bisexuality - more anima and animus). As a child I had a 'waking vision' of a snake. I began to realise that this snake was the 'African Snake' (linked to the Rainbow Serpent of Aboriginal mythology) which manifests during times of great stress and is an agent of awareness and change. Manifesting thus during the apartheid era, I began to realise that I (as an artist) had a mission to 'make visible' this mythological animal. The 'hidden' damage caused by apartheid thus makes a visual statement.

About Helge Olle
Photographer: Gerald Botha of Stella Nova Studios, Kloof, KZN 2016
Costume design and construction, make-up, concept: Helge Janssen.
My art is formed through a combination of myth, psyche, archetype and innovation drawn from life's many many influences...and has even amazed me with its portent...drawn from a deeply intuitive cognitive consciousness. We have so much more information as our source of inspiration amid a myriad of vying energies.
With the current madness and orchestrated insanity busy bombing our minds daily, with full intention to DISORIENTATE, OBFUSCATE and DEMORALISE our lives, we have to stand strong and focused.
It is more important than ever that these moronic forces that are hell bent on subjugating the world to its morass of dubious and despicable control mechanisms by robbing us of our sovereignty are defeated. It is a GIVEN that their plans are so DELUDED that they will never succeed. The mere fact that they even THINK that their plan will succeed is alarming enough. It has FAILURE built into it. What it boils down to is that they are trying to take as many people as they can with them. It is THEIR end game. It is THEIR fear. It is THEIR stupidity.
And of course being shadow banned as an artist is shameful. But the more I am ignored, hidden, the more powerful my work becomes. It is a given. Thank you in advance.
LATEST UPDATE: FB has ripped me apart! They have deleted all of my platforms for violating 'instagram's community standards. I had tried to remove myself from instagram a few years ago but my efforts failed....so I clean forgot about it. However, I became aware that when I post to my art pages that the post is also shared to instagram. FB does not tell me exactly what it is that I have done that constitutes this drastic response. When I follow the links to 'appeal' I am sent a 'verification' code that will allow me to make an appeal, but when I enter the verification code and require my ORIGINAL password, it keeps telling me that I have entered the wrong password. When I type in my phone number (another option) it tells me that no such number exists. I am told that I have 179 days within which to lodge an appeal. That boils down to a six month ban/...and, in the mean time a 'discreetly blatant' form of CREATIVE ASSASSINATION!!
When artists are made to feel that they have as much significance as another brick in the wall......KNOW that society has been completely INVERTED.
I now have a SUBSTACK PROFILE. It is way better than FB, informative and 'conscious'. What is happening the world is TOO DEPRESSING for words. Long Live Palestine! Long live Yemen. This is a true battle for HEART. and the heart will win, for one simple reason: it IS the LIFE FORCE. The rest is a death cult.
PLUS even I am discovering new depths to my paintings where images, produced purely through intuition, has penetrated the psyche/reality OF OUR TIME.

too numerous to mention but held a RETROSPECTIVE of nine paintings on an invite from artist/filmmaker Aryan Kaganof at his VIRGINS exhibition at the KZNSA art gallery 2002. I also performed a solo experimental piece, plus showcased some fashion garments at the opening.
Also a solo show at Chilliplum restaurant, Hillcrest 2013.
