David Breuer-Weil was born in London in 1965 and studied at Central Saint Martin’s School of Art under Henry Moore’s assistant Shelley Fausset and at Clare College, Cambridge. Breuer-Weil is famed for his monumental solo shows of vast painted canvases referred to as the Projects. Breuer-Weil has emerged as one of the leading contemporary British sculptors with iconic works such as Brothers and Alien displayed to great public and critical acclaim. These powerful works have been installed in major public spaces in London including Hampstead Heath, Hanover Square, Grosvenor Gardens, Marble Arch and around the world. Visitor, Visitor 2 and Alien were included in Sotheby’s 2010, 2011 and 2013 Beyond Limits exhibitions at Chatsworth House. His sculptures and two-dimensional works have been exhibited with the National Trust more recently. In 2016-2017 Breuer-Weil exhibited alongside Edmund de Waal and Hans Coper at the Jewish Museum, London. In June-July 2017 Christie’s held a solo show of monumental Breuer-Weil sculpture that was held at various locations across London; Cavendish Square, St Pancras, Portman Square and the Economist Plaza. In the summer of 2018 a new monumental work, Flight, was installed into Marble Arch and in 2019 Breuer-Weil’s Visitor 2 was exhibited as part of The Child Within Me, at the Abdülmecid Efendi Pavilion, Istanbul, to coincide with the Istanbul Biennial. A film about the artist, The King of Nerac, directed by Annie Sulzberger, premiered in 2015 at the Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA), London and in New York at the Lincoln Center. Breuer-Weil lives and works in London.
Helmet Explanation:
The helmet is painted with two hands blessing the head of a soldier, based on the blessing that parents give their children on Friday nights: “The Lord bless and protect you. The Lord deal kindly and graciously with you. The Lord bestow his favour upon you and grant you peace” (Numbers 6:24–26). Every soldier was of course once a child blessed by parents. The artist states: “I wanted to follow the form of the helmet, as the hands gently cup the head of a grown child whilst making the blessing in a moment of great intimacy and meaning and showing the human value of each soldier. At the same time this piece combines the arts of painting and sculpture into one compact piece suggested by the perfect sculptural shape of the helmet.”
