LITTLE MATTER

On Saturday, December 12th, Corey Helford Gallery presents “Between Worlds”, a new group exhibition curated by Caro that explores the fantasy of planets and lands yet to be explored. The exhibition is a follow up to “Dreamlands”, where artists pushed the boundaries of the limitless landscape of our imaginations. When NASA retrieved photos from our solar system’s least understood planet, Pluto, earlier this year, a dreamland became reality. What those images lacked in finer details made up for in splendor, presenting a terrific look at the lonely planet of enormous mountains, deep valleys and a crystal blue sky. It was completely alien and strikingly familiar at the same time- not something you would have expected from the distant planet. “Between Worlds”, inspired by the spirit of NASA’s photographs, features 30 international contemporary artists who share an otherworldly quality in their art. In a variety of media and styles, their works romanticize both their hope and despair for the future, and express a deep desire to reconnect with our home planet, which is threatened by pollution. Tue - Sat, 12 - 6pm Yoh Nagao is a Japanese artist, currently based in Berlin, Germany. After graduating from Nagoya Zokei University of Art & Design (BFA) in Aichi, Japan, he worked at several design agencies while working as an independent artist, and freelance graphic designer. His artwork features acrylics and collages in a colorful and dynamic way, with added pencil & pen details. Creating imaginary landscapes, his unique style may incorporate specific themes and/or follow a series of episodes. Nagao is greatly inspired by American pop culture which has been playing a crucial role in his life for as long as he can remember.
