We like - Korin Faught
Opening Reception Saturday, June 27, 2009 from 7 to 10pm
On View June 27 until July 19, 2009
Corey Helford Gallery is proud to present “Echo”, a solo exhibition of new works by Los Angeles artist Korin Faught. Following her 2008 breakout solo debut at Corey Helford Gallery, Faught continues to evolve her signature works of multiples with the addition of triplet and quadruplet figures. Faught’s oil-on-canvas portraits elegantly layer narrative, texture and mood, capturing intimate moments of her subjects. Movement is created from repetition and pattern, and Faught’s milieu of fabrics and interiors transform with the addition of reds, oranges and purples to her neutral palette. For the show, Faught will unveil her largest piece to date, a fourteen-foot triptych. Open to the public, the reception for “Echo” will take place on Saturday, June 27 from 7 to 10pm, and the show will be on view until July 18, 2009.
Korin Faught was born in Phoenix, Arizona in 1981 and raised in Colorado. She received her B.F.A. from Art Center College of Design in 2004. Faught finds inspiration in mid-century modern design, fashion, and white on white. Her work has been exhibited at numerous galleries in Los Angeles, New York, Toronto, San Francisco and Seattle, including Merry Karnowsky Gallery, Copro Nason, Gallery Nucleus, The Shooting Gallery and Aidan Savoy Gallery. Numerous websites have featured Faught, including Style.com, Artist A Day and Juxtapoz, and her work has been published in Abitare magazine. Look for an upcoming profile in the August issue American Art Collector magazine. For more information about Korin Faught, please visit www.korinfaught.com.
Located in the Culver City Art District, Corey Helford Gallery was established in April 2006 by Jan Corey Helford and her husband, television producer and creator, Bruce Helford (The Drew Carey Show, George Lopez, The Oblongs). Passionate art collectors, the Helfords are producers on the art documentary The Treasures of Long Gone John and have partnered to open their first gallery. Corey Helford Gallery presents a wide range of artists, from members of the new fine art movement, such as Gary Baseman, Andrew Brandou, Coop, Natalia Fabia, Korin Faught, Sylvia Ji, Eric Joyner, and award-winning photographer Chris Anthony, to early Modernist William S. Schwartz. Notable shows include “Charity By Numbers”, which was co-curated by Gary Baseman and featured an unprecedented lineup of artists including Mark Ryden, Marion Peck, Shepard Fairey, Todd and Kathy Schorr, Camille Rose Garcia, and Michael Hussar.

Stanley Donwood solo show
Stanley Donwood exhibits new work in Bristol
‘EL CHUPACABRA’
Weapon of Choice Gallery, are pleased to announce the forthcoming solo exhibition by Stanley Donwood. Opening on the 10th July (6-10pm), the new gallery space will come alive with Stanley’s latest series of artwork entitled ‘EL CHUPACABRA’.
The show features 13 fictional characters – Pandemons, which Stanley describes as feral carnivorous parasites who are feasting ingloriously on the foully smoldering remains of late-period Western consumer capitalism. Wearing suit and tie, these Pandemons represent white-collar criminal/politicians.
Stanley’s apt choice of title ‘El Chupacabra’, meaning ‘the goat sucker’ in Spanish is his response to suffering a long fixation with the horned gods and having to live amongst some of the most mendacious economic times he can remember provoking him to start making pictures of Pandemons.
“I’ve got nothing against goats. I’ve simply discovered that if I draw a goat, give it the mouth of a rapacious carnivore then dress it in the suit and tie of a disgraced banker or politician it looks f**king evil. There are thirteen Pandemons in the show called ‘el chupacabra’. Thirteen ghosts at the funeral. Thirteen spectres at the feast of the goat. Loitering on the blackened cliffs of free-market economics, cackling as they raise a glass to toast Milton Friedman, Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher and Augusto Pinochet.
Gallons of paint I’ve poured over them to drown their snickering. But still they laugh.” Comments Stanley Donwood.
‘EL CHUPACABRA’ by Stanley Donwood runs from the 10th July – 9th August 2009, Weapon of Choice Gallery, 14 St Michael's Hill, Bristol, BS2 8DT
