Downtown Los Angeles’ Corey Helford Gallery (CHG) is proud to announce its next solo show Who Am I?, featuring new works from talented up-and-coming Japanese artist Junna Maruyama. Premiering Saturday, January 10th in Gallery 3 and on view through February 14th, the show marks Maruyama’s debut solo show in the U.S. Open to the public and free to attend, Who Am I? is set to debut on Saturday, January 10th from 7:00 pm – 11:00 pm in Gallery 3.

Crafting Pop-Surrealist visions of dreamy, melancholic female figures, amplified by deliberately feminine material, Maruyama works across painting, printmaking, and sculpture. Glitter, heart stickers, and other gender-coded elements push her pieces into a realm of fantasy and play. Her subjects — drawn from fairy tales and folklore and painted in a vivid, shifting palette — carry a doll-like innocence, but their vacant, unreadable stares introduce an unsettling tension beneath the sweetness.
