A Unique Art Exhibition
12/12/09-12/17/09
Culver City, CA

The Corey Helford Gallery located in the Culver City Art District, is proud to present “The Multi-Plane Show”. The gallery, which was established in April 2006 by Jan Corey Helford and Bruce Helford, will have their largest group show of this year as they bring together their favorite artists from the new contemporary fine art movement to pay tribute to the early days of animation. For this exhibition, each artist used the multi-plane method which consists of three different surfaces housed in a custom-made frame and creates a depth and three-dimensional effect through two glass foreground layers and a background wood panel. and produced their original painting. The multi-plane concept was created by pioneer animators Ub Iwerks, Max Fleischer, Bill Garrity, and Walt Disney.

Natalia Fabia, a Los Angeles artist known for her paintings of sultry and seductive women, mentions “I was excited to translate my traditional form of painting into a 3-D format as well as challenged by this new way of executing my work.” Artist and animator Carlos Ramos (Creator of The X’s and Annie Award winner for Chalkzone) adds “working on my multi-plane piece was an engaging way to revisit animation’s beginnings and experiment with this cool, old-school medium.”

The show features a brilliant lineup of artists including Todd Schorr, Gary Baseman, COOP, Tim Biskup, Sylvia Ji, Ron English, and Tokidoki.

The show is open to the public and the reception will take place on December 12 and the show will be on view until the 17th so don’t miss out. For this landmark exhibition, Corey Helford Gallery partnered with London’s StolenSpace Gallery to feature works by some of England’s sought-after contemporary artists D-Face and Chloe Early. The Corey Helford Gallery presents new exhibitions every four weeks so keep your eyes open for upcoming exhibitions.
