On Saturday, June 7, visit the Corey Helford Gallery in Downtown LA for the opening of “Allegories & Cupcakes,” the first solo show from Argentine painter, illustrator, and stop motion filmmaker Peca.
Now based in Barcelona, Peca’s work has appeared internationally in solo and group shows at world-renowned galleries. Inspired by her dreams, visions, and meditations, pop surrealist Peca creates dreamlike, mystical milieus inhabited by enchanting, anthropomorphic beings.
Peca calls “Allegories & Cupcakes” “a series of sacred stories of the desert, an exodus of migrant souls tracing a path and leaving footprints… a trip where feet, paws, claws, clouds, sand, fluttering, cosmic movements, embroidered skin, holy fruits, delicious creams, ethereal breaths, floating beings, failures, fun, and loneliness are mixed in an organized equilibrium about to succumb.”
The opening reception, from 7 to 11 p.m. on June 7, is free and open to the public. “Allegories & Cupcakes” can also be viewed Tuesdays through Saturdays from noon to 6 p.m. through July 12. Corey Helford Gallery is located at 571 S. Anderson Street, Los Angeles, CA, 90033.
