Corey Helford Gallery is proud to present “Echo”, a solo exhibition of new works by Los Angeles artist Korin Faught. Following her 2008 breakout solo debut at Corey Helford Gallery, Faught continues to evolve her signature works of multiples with the addition of triplet and quadruplet figures. Faught’s oil-on-canvas portraits elegantly layer narrative, texture and mood, capturing intimate moments of her subjects. Movement is created from repetition and pattern, and Faught’s milieu of fabrics and interiors transform with the addition of reds, oranges and purples to her neutral palette. For the show, Faught will unveil her largest piece to date, a fourteen-foot triptych. Open to the public, the reception for “Echo” will take place on Saturday, June 27 from 7 to 10pm, and the show will be on view until July 18, 2009.
