This coming Saturday Tiffany Liu has a collection entitled “Life, Death & the Inbetween” which will open alongside M. Mararian’s Inky Dreadfuls “Phobias, Foibles & Fiends” Exhibition at Corey Helford Gallery, its first double solo exhibition along with special guest artist Krista Huot in the Loft.
For “Life, Death & the Inbetween”, Tiffany Liu unveils a whimsical world of childlike fantasy that is inspired by her personal reflections on passing, renewal, and growth. Liu employs a bright color palette of acrylic paint and gouache to create symbolic representations of human emotion: love, fear, happiness, and anger. In addition to her signature miniature pieces, Liu increases the size and scale of her work, bringing her emphasis on detail and subtle symbolism into a significantly larger format.
Michael Mararian an artist I am personaly really liking at the moment returns to Corey Helford Gallery with his largest exhibition to date entitled “Phobias, Foibles & Fiends”. Featuring over thirty macabre ink renderings, his new body of work is a dark comedy of psychological fears, character flaws and complexes of the human id. Using black India ink, archival brush pens and rapidographs, Mararian continues to create narratives that transform traditionally cheerful images and concepts into frightening yet humorous tableaus.
The show will also feature guest artist Krista Huot’s first exhibition at Corey Helford with a collection of her newest works in the loft. Huot will debut a series of twenty acrylic and mixed media works that explore the intricate path of self awareness. Inspired by childhood storybooks, fairytales and the forests of Northern Canada where she was born and raised, Huot studied painting and is a classically trained animator. She currently resides in Montreal.
