#CoolArt: Corey Helford Gallery presents a New 7 Artist Art Exhibition

Corey Helford Gallery presents a new 7 artist art exhibition of new works by Andy Adamson, Helice Wen, kozyndan, Rodolfo Loaiza, Travis Lampe, Yang Cao, and Zoé Byland.

Seven is called the number of completeness and CHG’s February show promises a complete view of the latest in New Contemporary art: Andy Adamson's ceramics bring his unique sense of humor to pop culture's favorite characters, Helice Wen's beautiful figurative paintings capture moments of fragility and intimacy rarely seen, kozyndan's delightful paintings on Japanese scrolls offer a fresh new take on ‘nihonga,' Rodolfo Loaiza's works take the taboos of reality and inject them into the idealized world of Disney, the topsy turvy world portrayed in Travis Lampe's paintings is a trip out of pandemia, Yang Cao takes us high above with new additions to his dreamy "Clouds" portraits, and Zoé Byland revisits the past in her haunting monochromatic portrayals that merge vintage with contemporary.

Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, the exhibition will be available on view at the gallery through appointment only and on the Corey Helford Gallery website and Facebook page, and on Instagram Live (@coreyhelfordgallery) on Saturday February 27.

The exhibition will be on view in the Main Gallery through April 3 2021.
