This Saturday night (September 15th) in Culver City, the Corey Helford Gallery will be presenting powerful new paintings from Martin Wittfooth (interviewed). Empire will feature the NY-based artist’s satirical works where he tackles themes of power through his visions of animal allegories. Like the image below – Occupy – he states “I wanted to play off of the idea of the symbol of Wall Street, the bull perched up on a girder being swarmed by songbirds, who have no perceived effect whatsoever on his position, despite the great deal of noise we can imagine them collectively creating” – a fitting description of the recent protests. Take a look at more preview images below…
