Opening the same night as the Brooklyn Block Party at Ad Hoc Art, C215′s Junk Store blew away anything else in the gallery. Showcasing the French artist’s stencil skills and color palette, Junk Store is a refreshing addition to a genre of art that has begun to look all too similar.

“Corey Helford Gallery is proud to present “These Predicaments”, a solo exhibition of new works by pop surrealist David Stoupakis. For his second solo exhibition at the Gallery, Stoupakis parlays his talent for the supernatural and macabre into dramatic narratives that reveal symbolic turning points and unexpected dilemmas. A delicate balance of childhood innocence and haunting imagery, the series of oil-on-panel paintings and graphite drawings recounts grim fairytales of the decadent and demure. Marking a new direction for the artist, Stoupakis employs a brighter color palette than before and will unveil his largest piece to date for the exhibition…”
