Downtown Los Angeles’ Corey Helford Gallery (CHG) is proud to announce its next major solo exhibition by Pop-Surrealist painter, illustrator, character creator, and comic artist Camilla d’Errico. Set to premiere June 7th in the Main Gallery, Fabled realms will be on view through July 12th. The exhibit marks d'Errico’s fifth solo show at the gallery, following Nurtured by nature (August 2023), The color wheel (May 2020), Sky (Apr. 2018), and Dances with dreams (Apr. 2016).
Fabled realms presents a body of new paintings and drawings that blend mythology, fantasy, and pop surrealism. Drawing inspiration from ancient folklore, celestial archetypes, and the enduring power of storytelling, d’Errico invites viewers into a universe where the mystical and the emotional intertwine. Her work reimagines legendary creatures and otherworldly landscapes as reflections of our own inner worlds—fear, desire, transformation, and wonder rendered in vivid color and intricate detail. Fabled Realms offers a portal to the fantastical, where past and present mythologies are reborn through the artist’s signature visual language.
D'Errico shares, “Step into Fabled realms—my solo show of paintings and drawings that breathe life into mythical creatures, celestial spirits, and dreamlike worlds. These works explore the stories we’ve carried for centuries and the magic we still hold inside. Let the legends lead you beyond the veil and into the heart of imagination.”
On social media, d'Errico has started sharing sneak peeks into her upcoming show at CHG. In one work-in-progress video featuring her new piece The tempest wing, d’Errico shares: “I wanted to share a peek at how I bring to life my artwork. Painting her is a labor of love—slow and steady, layer after layer. Each feather gets built up with care, and I blend my colors first on the palette, then into the still-wet paint to get that soft, seamless look…and while it’s super time-consuming, I love watching her transform with every stroke.”
Open to the public and free to attend, Fabled realms is set to debut on Saturday, June 7th from 7:00 pm – 11:00 pm in the Main Gallery, alongside a group show, titled The Surreal Real: New Contemporary Art Recently Unleashed, in Gallery 2 and a solo show by Argentine painter, illustrator, and stop motion filmmaker Peca, titled Allegories & Cupcakes, in Gallery 3. The shows will be on view at CHG through July 12th.
