Martin Wittfooth’s “Empire” Opening Night Photos

Martin Wittfooth (Hi-Fructose Vol. 19 cover artist) recently opened his show "Empire" at Corey Helford Gallery, presenting a collection of majestic, allegorical works on canvas. Interested in the idea of a repetitive cycle of history, Wittfooth chose to examine the way the notion of empire applies to modern day. The result is a series of subtle works that communicate these ideas slowly and patiently through rich imagery and pristine details. Take a look at some images from the opening night by Sam Graham courtesy of Corey Helford Gallery.
