Opening on August 8 at Corey Helford Gallery is the enigmatic new solo exhibition by French sculptor, Ornélie, which will pull you through the veil of polite smiles and composed faces to peek into a world far more raw and emotionally charged - but not without its beauty. Midnight Bloom is an exhibition of gothic wonder, centered around a series of psychological portraits that evoke resilience, adaptation and survival. A year in the making, Ornélie presents female figures where, beneath the surface, something adapts, reorganizes, and survives.
