Culver City, CA.- The Corey Helford Gallery is pleased to announce the launch of its fall exhibition schedule with the opening of new solo shows from Korin Faught and Joey Remmers on Saturday, September 3rd. Both exhibitions will remain on view through September 21st. Since 2006, Los Angeles artist Korin Faught has exhibited with Corey Helford Gallery, and this September she will unveil her new solo exhibition entitled “Voices of the Lake.” Infusing her signature portraits of multiples with a modern style and timeless beauty, Faught’s work captures a composed elegance within each pool of reflection. Her feminine narratives feature a refined palette that spans from pale whites to dark neutrals, revealing layers of subtle textures and hidden details in between. Inspired by her own underwater photography, Korin brings her paintings above water, aligning herself with Victorian themes and painters from The Romantic era who sought to capture such classical values as chivalry and female fragility. Seen submerged or simply standing in shallow water, Faught’s subjects possess that elusive quality that leave one wondering who are the “Voices of the Lake?”

Accompanying Faught’s  “Voices of the Lake,” the upstairs gallery will feature new works by artist Joey Remmers entitled, “Sheeps Clothing.” Returning to Corey Helford for his second solo exhibition, Remmers transforms elements from the psychological crime studies of Lt. Col. Dave Grossman into tranquil oil-on-panel tableaus that expose a darker side. Remmers notes, “I’ve always liked the idea and feel of peaceful, serene landscapes but laced with sinister, underlying themes.” His muted palette of desaturated tones is layered with splashes of vibrant hues, and for the exhibition, Remmers incorporates his profession as a tattoo artist into his paintings, adding ink-inspired embellishments throughout. The opening receptions for “Voices of the Lake” and “Sheeps Clothing” take place on Saturday, September 3, 2011 at Corey Helford Gallery. Korin Faught was raised in Colorado, and 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.

Faught’s work has been exhibited at galleries in Los Angeles, New York, Toronto, San Francisco and Seattle as well as published in ArtNews, Abitare, and American Art Collector magazine. She has also been a featured artist on Style.com, Artist A Day and Juxtapoz. Joey Remmers was born and raised in Southern California. His interest in art began at an early age, prompting him to find creative outlets for his innate talent. At 19 years old, he began tattooing, which became both his profession and artistic medium for the next ten years. Following his success as a nationally recognized tattoo artist, his focus turned to illustration and painting, exhibiting at galleries nationwide. Remmers’ work has been featured in Stretching Canvas and Savage Magazine, as well as a collaboration with Fender Guitars on a custom product series.


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 Ron English, Josh Agle (SHAG), Buff Monster, COOP, Natalia Fabia, Korin Faught, Sylvia Ji, Eric Joyner, Chloe Early, Ray Caesar, and award-winning photographer Chris Anthony, to early Modernist William S. Schwartz. In 2010, Corey Helford Gallery partnered with Bristol’s City Museum & Art Gallery for the transatlantic collaboration “Art From The New World”, a world-class United Kingdom museum exhibition showcasing work by a formidable group of 49 of the finest emerging and noted American artists. Corey Helford Gallery presents new exhibitions approximately every four weeks. Visit the gallery's website at ... http://www.coreyhelfordgallery.com
