Next weekend, Melissa Forman will be bringing her evocative portraiture to Corey Helford Gallery with her new body of work “Garden of Shadows.” Some of her paintings seem to be of the modern women yet give off a classical feeling – perhaps because of the poses and the clothing of the long ago Victorian era.  The centerpiece of the exhibition will be four “personified portraits of medieval medicine’s bodily humours (Purity, Vexation, Reluctance and Melancholia).”  The show opens on  October 3rd so be sure to stop by if you are near Culver City, but for now, some more preview images after the jump…
