On Saturday, June 10, Downtown Los Angeles'
Corey Helford Gallery (CHG)
will proudly unveil the new solo exhibition -- titled "Prismatic Paradigm" -- from multi-disciplinary artist Beau Stanton. Featuring all new works from the SoCal native, "Prismatic Paradigm" will be on display in Gallery 3.
Stanton
presents a new body of work that fuses familiar gothic motifs and geometric archetypes with a diverse range of techniques including oil painting, printmaking, stained glass, woodworking, sculpture, and aerosol. Cryptic kaleidoscopic images occupy an immersive installation that illuminates and transports the viewer into a surreal space existing in an ambiguous time and place. Translucent layers of color glow between meticulously designed frameworks that compose rose window-like portals and multifaceted sculptures creating carefully crafted displays of light and shadow.
"Illusory Axiom" (acrylic and four color process serigraph on wood - 11" x 14")
While balancing apocryphal references to religious iconography with calculated geometric forms and engineered objects, Stanton concocts a luminous journey for the subconscious where past and present collide in a visual bacchanalia of chromatic brilliance.

Regarding his new collection, Stanton shared in a recent interview with
Street Art News
(3/13): "[Prismatic Paradigm] is going to be largely installation based, and it's going to include a lot of different media that I've been exploring over the last couple years. So, typically I'm a painter and muralist, however, I've started to apply my aesthetic onto other mediums such as stain glass, multimedia, animation, recently stop-motion animation, mosaics, etc. So, the idea behind the show is to sort of reconcile all those things into a single viewer experience because I haven't really shown all those things together in the same place before."
The opening reception for "Prismatic Paradigm" will be hosted Saturday, June 10 from 7-11pm in Gallery 3 at Corey Helford Gallery. The reception is open to the public and on view through July 8.
About Beau Stanton:
A multi-disciplinary artist, Stanton's work takes the form of paintings, murals, large scale installations, stained glass, and multimedia animations. Focusing on meticulous technique and craft, Stanton's work is heavily informed by historic ornamentation, religious iconography, and classical painting. A keen interest in iconic visual symbols and Jungian archetypes often provide the foundation for his images.
Stanton is originally from California where he studied illustration at Laguna College of Art and Design. He relocated to New York after graduating in 2008 where he continues to live and work in Red Hook, Brooklyn, drawing constant inspiration from the neighborhood's rich history. His work has recently been shown in a 12th Century crypt, on the screens of Times Square, the Berlin Wall, and in galleries worldwide.
About Corey Helford Gallery:
Corey Helford Gallery (CHG) was first established in 2006 by Jan Corey Helford and her husband, television producer and creator, Bruce Helford (Anger Management, The Drew Carey Show, George Lopez, The Oblongs) and has since evolved into one of the premier galleries of New Contemporary art.
Its goals as an institution are the support and growth of young and emerging, to well-known and internationally established artists, the production and promotion of their artwork, and the general production of their exhibits, events and projects.
CHG represents a diverse collection of international artists, primarily influenced by today's pop culture and collectively encompassing style genres such as New Figurative Art, Pop Surrealism, Neo Pop, Graffiti and Street Art, and Post-Graffiti.
After nine years in Culver City, CHG relocated in December 2015 to a robust 12,000 sq. ft. building in Downtown Los Angeles, seven times larger than its original space, where it continues to host exhibitions within the heart of the city's art community. The current space boasts three separate galleries, each of which house individual artist and group exhibitions, whereas the main gallery offers 4,500 sq. ft.,
providing total immersion for its attendees.
New exhibitions are presented approximately every four weeks. For more info and an upcoming exhibition schedule, visit
