Opening Night: Michael Mararian x Miso at Corey Helford Gallery
Friday January 29, 2010 |
 Genre-pushing artist Michael Mararian opened his edgy solo show, Youth Parade, at Corey Helford Gallery with Miso’s The Cold Returns in the gallery loft area. Attracting viewers from far and wide, the opening night displayed fierce artwork and fans. Mararian's Youth Parade challenges audiences, in both concept and context, with its controversial imagery and dark subject matter.
Mararian is known for transforming traditionally cheerful images and concepts into frightening, yet humorous, narratives. Often focusing on children as the last bastion of innocence, his work explores the dark humor behind every-day social and psychological issues.
Conversely, Miso is an emerging artist who uses a variety of mediums in The Cold Returns (both shows are on display through February 9th, 2010) to present various creatures and explore ecocatastrophe, biology and the science of evolution.
