Corey Helford
was among the early galleries in Los Angeles to bring these artists together for exhibitions that established the stature of this art form and its place in the fine art scene. Following in the paths of Haring, Basquiat and others, these self-styled vandals brought the streets of the world a voice that expresses the jarring beauty and incongruity of art and life in the urban setting.
Corey Helford
is proud to present new works by these artists and other upcoming artists from around the world.
The Fine Art of Street and Graffiti
will feature new works by:
Ahoy, Aspire, Barlo, Bates, Beau Stanton, Bio Tats Cru, Bisco Smith, Buff Monster, CES, Candybird, Caratoes, Cryptik, D*FACE, Defer, EINE, Estevan Oriol, Faith XLVII, HOXXOH, HUSH, Herakut, Jecks, Jillian Evelyn, Kano, Kwest, La Belle Epoque, Lauren YS, Logan Hicks, Mauy, Messy Desk, Miss Van, OG Abel, Okuda San Miguel, Pure Evil, Quick, RISK, Ramiro Davaro-Comas, Ron English, SEEN, seenaeme, Sel, Senna, Sever, Simple Bao, Skeme, Starman, Taz, Vyal and Zlism.
The second part of the
Lucky 13 Anniversary
celebration
will be an exhibition of the best in Pop Surreal and New Figurative, with more info and an amazing lineup to be announced next month.
Corey Helford Gallery
opened its doors in April 2006, with the mission of bringing new artists to the public’s attention in a fine-art gallery setting, but with a populist bent toward works that appealed to a younger, less elitist body of collectors who were eschewing the cold, conceptual world of “blue-chip” fine art for more relatable works reflecting pop culture and current lifestyles. Starting with a 2,400 square-foot space in Culver City,
CHG
’s current home is a 12,500 square-foot space, housing three distinct galleries under one roof, in the arts district environs of Downtown Los Angeles.
The Fine Art of Street and Graffiti
opens
Saturday, April 6
from
7pm-11pm
in the
Main Gallery
, alongside
solo shows from
Ben Frost
in
Gallery 2
and
Josie Morway
in
Gallery 3
. The reception is open to the public and all shows will be on view through
Saturday, May 11
.
Corey Helford Gallery
is located at 571 S. Anderson St. Los Angeles, CA 90033 and normal hours are Tuesday – Saturday, from 12pm - 6pm.
About Corey Helford Gallery:
Corey Helford Gallery (CHG) was first established in 2006 by Jan Corey Helford and her husband, television producer and creator, Bruce Helford (
Anger Management
,
The Drew Carey Show
,
George Lopez
,
The Oblongs
) and has since evolved into one of the premier galleries of New Contemporary art. Its goals as an institution are the support and growth of young and emerging, to well-known and internationally established artists, the production and promotion of their artwork, and the general production of their exhibits, events and projects.
CHG represents a diverse collection of international artists, primarily influenced by today’s pop culture and collectively encompassing style genres such as New Figurative Art, Pop Surrealism, Neo Pop, Graffiti and Street Art, and Post-Graffiti.
After nine years in Culver City, CHG relocated in December 2015 to a robust 12,000 square foot building in Downtown Los Angeles, where it continues to host exhibitions within the heart of the city’s art community. The current space boasts three separate galleries, each of which house individual artist and group exhibitions, whereas the main gallery offers 4,500 square feet, providing total immersion for its attendees. New exhibitions are presented approximately every five weeks. For more info and an upcoming exhibition schedule, visit
