Corey Helford Gallery marks its twentieth year with a two-part anniversary program in 2026, unfolding across all three galleries and spanning late summer into fall. The August Edition opened August 8 and runs through September 12, anchored by a twentieth-anniversary exhibition in the Main Gallery, \u00180 Years of CHG: A Dive Into the Archive\u0019 in Gallery 2, and solo exhibitions by Molly Devlin and Orn\u0000e9lie sharing Gallery 3. The September Edition opens September 19 and runs through October 24.<\/p>\n
In the Main Gallery, the show toggles between the familiar and the unexpected. HUSH\u0019s Static Bloom<\/em> lands with the ease of recognition, while Shepard Fairey\u0019s OP-Art Icon (Green Gradient) (2023)<\/em> turns that recognition into a prompt to look again. Handiedan\u0019s Amo in Blue<\/em> (2026) rewards close viewing: a blue-and-white field resolves into mixed media layers \u0014 digital and hand-cut collage, vintage ceramics, paper, foam board, found materials, and matte varnish on BFK Dordrecht porcelain (27.5″ x 27.5″). Faith XLVII\u0019s Solar Logos II<\/em> pivots in another direction altogether, built from horse-racing betting sheets, gold leaf, acrylic, pencil crayon, and crayon.<\/p>\n The gallery\u0019s past is never far from view. A memory of D*Face\u0019s 2011 exhibition Going Nowhere Fast<\/em> \u0014 with a skeleton couple in a black vintage car \u0014 underscores how this anniversary folds two decades of shows into the present moment.<\/p>\n Gallery 2\u0019s survey, \u001820 Years of CHG: A Dive Into the Archive,\u0019 makes the case for revisiting. Herakut\u0019s Herakut Family Member, 2019<\/em> (acrylic, spray paint, ink, and charcoal on canvas, 47″ x 31″) brings back a distinctly narrative language, a reminder that the gallery\u0019s history is built as much from rooms and installations as from singular canvases.<\/p>\n Gallery 3 hosts two solos in deliberate contrast. Orn\u0000e9lie\u0019s Midnight Bloom<\/em> gathers hand-painted polymer-clay sculptures where flowers and organic forms emerge from bodies, opening onto scenes of transformation. In the adjacent presentation, Molly Devlin\u0019s paintings offer a softer register; among them, Fern-Ling<\/em> (2026), acrylic on birch in an antique wooden frame (7.5″ x 6″).<\/p>\n The breadth of the anniversary season is echoed in other works noted across the opening: Ginger Chen\u0019s porcelain and underglaze sculpture Hug<\/em>; Kazuki Takamatsu\u0019s A Girl Who Lives In Someone\u0019s Memories. 06<\/em> (2026); Nohamen\u0019s Red Scooter<\/em> (2026); Tom Bagshaw\u0019s (You\u0019re) Finally Here<\/em> (2026); Sienna Hong\u0019s The Weight of Air<\/em> (2026); SHAG (Josh Agle)\u0019s Pink Elephant #11<\/em> (2013); Richard Ahnert\u0019s Cookie Dough<\/em> (2025); and Orn\u0000e9lie\u0019s The Feast<\/em> (2026), Deliverance<\/em> (2026), and Ali\u0000e9nor<\/em> (2026).<\/p>\n Corey Helford Gallery\u0019s twentieth-anniversary exhibition is on view August 8\u0013September 12, 2026 at 571 South Anderson Street, Los Angeles, CA 90033, with a second edition following September 19\u0013October 24. Two decades in, the program invites visitors to encounter what endures, what evolves, and what returns from the archive with renewed clarity.<\/p>\nGallery 2: The Archive Remembers<\/h2>\n
