David Gallery / Stephen Wilkes Exhibit

Through March 22nd, the David Gallery in Culver City will be presently photographs of China by Stephen Wilkes.

Traveling through old and new China, Wilkes has expertly portrayed a nation amidst rapid and vast transformation. Focusing on both rural and urban industrialized settings – and the increasing number of areas where these two collide – the artist draws our attention to a changing way of life. The large spectacular imagery speaks of not only a new era in China, but also a shift in global economies already felt in the United States.

Corey Helford Gallery - Chris Anthony

Corey Helford Gallery is proud to present “I’m The Most Normal Person I Know”, a solo exhibition of new works by Los Angeles photographer Chris Anthony. For his second solo show at Corey Helford, Anthony transforms his childhood daydreams and obsessions with Lilliputia into a series of otherworldly narratives and haunting portraits. Employing his personal collection of vintage lenses that span from 1870 to 1910 and a medley of cheesecloth, papier mache, velvet, doll parts, dress forms, mannequins and tattered clothes, Anthony creates a unique world fi lled with his signature fantastical aesthetic and technical artistry. Accompanying “I’m The Most Normal Person I Know” will be a limited-edition book of 1,000 copies under the same title, which features photographs from the exhibition as well as additional images.
