One of the premier galleries of New Contemporary art, Los Angeles’ Corey Helford Gallery (CHG), is hosting the next major solo show from Boston-based painter and designer Josie Morway, titled "Course of Empire"
About
A self-taught artist, Morway’s extremely detailed style of oil and ink paintings on canvas combines the influence of Dutch Masters’ techniques, religious icon paintings, and hyper-modern color and design elements, to create paintings that have been described as “votive cave paintings from the distant future.” The wildlife in Morway’s work is portrayed with an intense reverence that escalates to surreality, creating paintings that are both politically charged, ethereally poetic, and darkly comical. The artist’s incredible work explores both the fragility and the fortitude of the natural world, envisioning the sanctity of wildlife and wilderness in the face of human degradation and seeking to challenge the assumptions and projections we bring to our interactions with the wild.
