Coming to Culver City’s Corey Helford Gallery this December is the latest solo exhibition from Ron English. Two years in the making, the brand new 22-piece “NeoNature” will explore evolutionary paths in alternate universes as English incorporates his prototypical pop culture-inspired motifs throughout. Says English in the show’s official release:

We are the new They. And we will materialize joy by thinking as a species. We have evolved to survive in times incongruous with nature, where instinct won’t save us. Our intellect is our fang. “NeoNature” examines the art of evolution, the flaw that propels civilization. The mutation of the ordinary stubbornly conjures new worlds. Evolution is everything-wings flap and echoes trigger new means. It is
intellectual communication. What is a butterfly pattern but a flamboyant yet fragile grab at the chance to spread the dust of its wings into new and larger worlds, a chance to seed before being consumed.

“NeoNature” opens December 12 and will remain on display through January 9, 2016.
