OPENING RECEPTION: SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 13TH
Andy Council will debut ten new works for his first exhibition with Corey Helford Gallery, entitled “Parallel Evolutions”. Based on his fascination with urban myths, beasts, dinosaurs and more, Council’s vibrant and playful imagery will delightfully dominate the loft space…
…Council adds, “Mankind’s creations often mirror those of natures. In my work manmade machines and cities are exaggerated and evolved further still into fantastical creatures and organic forms. This
latest body of work has natural forms made up of common place human creations of the modern world that are often destructive to ourselves and the planet.”
