Corey Helford Gallery's video: CAMILLE ROSE GARCIA Jasmine Becket-Griffith Opening Night

On July 16th, Corey Helford Gallery celebrated the opening of Camillle Rose Garcia’s “Phantasmacabre,” with Jasmine Becket-Griffth’s “Allusions and Allegories” coinciding in our gallery 2 space. The beautiful and the macabre negotiate a delicate balance of creation and destruction in Camilla Rose Garcia’s “Phantasmacabre”. Of her new work, Garcia says: “I’m trying to capture an emotional and psychological landscape where dreams and memory combine to form a personal symbolic language, both unique and universal. I’m interested in the feeling of something beautiful and frightening existing at the same time. Something painful and pleasurable all at once.” For more information about Camille Rose Garcia’s exhibit: http://www.coreyhelfordgallery.com/shows/camille-rose-garcia/ Jasmine Becket-Griffith’s paintings blend realism with wide-eyed wonder - exploring gothic themes, with elements of classical literature, fairytales, nature and fantasy. She says: “My acrylic paintings in ‘Allusions and Allegories’ represent some of the themes, concepts and imagery that excite me both as an artist and as a person. These pieces are rife with appropriated classical art references, nods to past masters, literary characters, alchemical theories, universal symbols and other allusions I've re-imagined into my own world. I've patchworked my personal obsessions together with my own aesthetic ideals to create allegories I find beautiful.” For more information about Jasmine Becket-Griffith’s exhibit: http://www.coreyhelfordgallery.com/shows/jasmine-becket-griffith/ Both shows will run from July 16th through August 19th.
