This March Los Angeles artist Lola unveils her magic at Corey Helford Gallery with a new collection of works entitled “Ipsum Factum”. Lola’s second solo exhibition at the gallery is her most highly anticipated to date. Through the artist’s unique process of visual storytelling, Lola explores catalysts for new beginnings as well as the forward momentum of positive change to be the best that one can be. Lola’s enchanting mini-vignettes blossom from the vibrant challenge of discovering newness and liberation of finding one’s authentic voice. “Every day is a lesson and a challenge, with noticeable evolution and growth” adds Lola, and for her upcoming show, she finds inspiration in being “pulled along by the moon as the unexpected guest, mesmerized by its significance for the love of a story”.

Lola was born and raised in Riverside California. Growing up with an artistic father helped sparked Lola’s interest in art at an early age, and she began developing her creative and technical skills more diligently when she reached her teens. A self-taught painter, Lola takes great care in the unique details of each piece, with a distinct visual evolution from each new body of work she exhibits, displaying them in handpicked antique frames she finds at flea markets. Featured in renowned collections worldwide, her work has been exhibited in prestigious galleries and museums including Yves LaRoche, Robert Berman Gallery, Jonathan LeVine Gallery, Dorothy Circus, and Riverside Art Museum.
