Corey Helford Gallery is proud to present “Heroes & Villains”, a special two-day exhibition of new works by Los Angeles photographers Tatiana Wills and Roman Cho. Representing a three-year long project, “Heroes and Villains” features intimate portraits of the most notable emerging and established figures in the Pop Surrealist, Graffiti and Alt-Comic Book worlds.
Among the artists you'll find works by: Shepard Fairey, Gary Baseman, Friends With You, Chris Anthony, Bigfoot, Herbert Baglione, Jaime Hernandez and others. On exhibit will be approximately fifty prints from an extensive collection of portraits that were co-curated by gallery director Richard Scarry. Each print will be available in a limited edition of 18, with editions #1- 6 available for purchase exclusively through Corey Helford Gallery. The collaboration began in 2005 when Wills and Cho took notice of a generation of artists that were influencing, creating and defining the visual vocabulary of our times. A unique photographic series that is the only collection of its kind, “Heroes & Villains” captures the essence of these masters of their medium and portrays them in the spotlight. This first installment of Wills and Cho’s work will make its debut at Corey Helford Gallery and travel to San Francisco and other cities across the nation thereafter, with a book project in development as well as a new chapter of portraits to come. Where: Corey Helford Gallery 8522 Washington Blvd. Culver City, CA 90232 (310)287-2340 or visit: www.coreyhelfordgallery.com When: April 22 and 23 from 12:00pm-6:00pm Price: Free |
