We stopped by Corey Helford Gallery for their latest exhibition “Crucifixion,” a group exhibition inspired by the images and symbolic influence of the crucifixion. The exhibition features new works from Glenn Barr, Ray Caesar, Victor Castillo, Ron English, Natalia Fabia, Korin Faught, Sarah Folkman, Nancy Fouts, Eric Joyner, Benjamin Bryce Kelley, Maria Kreyn, Marco Mazzoni, Buff Monster, Annie Owens, Michael Page, Chris Pugliese, Candice Tripp, Mark Dean Veca, Nicola Verlato, Tom Neely, Lola, Tom Bagshaw, and Amy Sol.

Pen, ink, and highlighter are not just items on a student's school supply list, but are also the tools used to create this lovely drawing from artist Natalia Fabia. Inspired by light, color, punk rock music, hot chicks and sparkles, Fabia is fascinated with hookers, which fuels her paintings of sultry women.

Over the past 6 months, we have noticed a trend that we thought was true and was proven correct. Our readers love a good hyperreal, photorealstic painting. Each artist with the skill to create a photorealistic piece has their own style and strengths, and we combed over our content from the past year to bring to you the very best photoreal painters featured Juxtapoz.com. Don't blink and make sure you look closely. These are the talents that make you have a double take.

Natalia Fabia is of Polish descent and was raised in Southern California where she graduated from Art Center College of Design in Pasadena. Inspired by light, color, punk rock music, hot chicks and sparkles, Fabia is fascinated with “hookers”, which fuels her paintings of sultry women. Her work has been featured in numerous gallery exhibitions including Thinkspace Gallery, M Modern and The Shooting Gallery.

On Saturday, March 31, Corey Helford Gallery will open the group exhibition, “Hookers,”curated by Los Angeles artist Natalia Fabia. Fabia’s curatorial debut will feature 22 artists’ interpretation of the term “Hooker.” Focusing on figurative painting, the exhibition highlights a wide range of accomplished artists whom Fabia admires, many of which she went to college with or studied under at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena.

We are playing catch up, showing opening night photos from Corey Helford Gallery's "In the Nursery" show that opened late January, 2011. But we have some photos here, so check them out after the jump . . .

Natalia Fabia is the latest victim we attacked with our game of Back Talk. Not only is Natalia a rad young woman and a spectacular artist, she has a solo show, Hooker DreamEscape, coming up this Saturday, February 21st at Corey Helford Gallery.   Inspired by everything from punk rock and tattoos to glitter and beautiful women, Natalia’s paintings are like diving into a fantasy world inhabited by sexy ladies in surreal environments. Natalia may look like a sweet innocent young lady, but she’s also got a little bit if a naughty streak in her (ever seen her portrait for Heroes & Villains? Wink, wink) so get down and dirty with the fabulous artist and check out Back Talk with Miss Natalia Fabia.
