Corey Helford Gallery presents a three-artist exhibition with new artworks from Jon Ching, Lori Nelson and Susanne Apgar.
Jon Ching's series, '
Succession' is a look at the world recovering after the
Anthropocene, the age of humans, with the lines between biological kingdoms, and even elements, blurred, overlapped, and intersected, new connections and adaptations are made. It's also part warning, part lesson, and all hopeful. Regardless of whether we choose to reflect on and accept the lessons painstakingly learned from our past in order to find ecological harmony, the natural world will endure and undoubtedly produce beauty and magic as it always has.
Lori Nelson's series, '
Betwixt', focuses on the anxiety, wonder, and exuberance of breaking out of childhood, acknowledging not only the legions of young people who mistakenly believe themselves to be uniquely monstrous but also the older people who still possess that little beast inside, at once shy and brash, with the potential of a surprise reawakening.
Susanne Apgar's series, '
Course Correction', explores the nature and trajectory of personal and romantic relationships: optimism and hope for the future, ignored red flags and signs of trouble, commitment and personal sacrifice, followed by casualness, coldness and ultimate disposal, expressing the beauty of love combined with absurd pain, through the depiction of real and imagined botanicals.
The opening reception is on Saturday Janaury 25from 7pm-11pm at
Corey Helford Gallery, 571 S Anderson Street (Enter on Willow Street), Los Angeles, CA 90033 in
Gallery 2, alongside a group show, entitled 'The Influence of Fellini: A Surreal 100th Birthday Celebration', in the
Main Gallery and a solo show from Marion Peck, entitled 'Red Clown, Blue Clown', in
Gallery 3.
The exhibition will be on view through February 29 2020.
