Pissing off Scenesters Since 1995
Corey Helford Gallery is pleased to present Happy Squirter, an exhibition of new works by Los Angeles street artist Buff Monster. Buff Monster is known for changing the landscapes of Los Angeles, Tokyo, and Barcelona with his iconic Buff Monster character – described by The New York Times as a “devilish scrubbing bubble gone bad.” He will unleash his talent onto the walls of Corey Helford for his fi rst solo show with the gallery. Buff Monster’s series of acrylic on wood and metal paintings, collages, and wall paintings will transform the space into a visual candyland. An opulent display of more than seven hundred custom printed balloons will intermingle with the show’s centerpiece, a squirting boob fountain.
Inspired by graffiti, heavy metal, porn, and ice cream, Buff Monster’s Happy Squirter marks a new direction for the artist while retaining his trademark “Pepto-pink” palette. His work continues to evolve with the introduction of Maraschino Cherry imagery and hand-silkcreened pieces. This exhibition presents a cleaner, more stylized mode of expression for the artist. Open to the public, the reception for Happy Squirter will take place on Friday, June 1 from 8 to 11pm, and the show will be on exhibit until June 23, 2007.
