Deborah Brown "The Bushwick Paintings"
Lesley Heller Workspace
This event has ended.
"I am interested in the post-industrial beauty of Bushwick, Brooklyn, the poor and working class neighborhood that surrounds my studio. Parts of Bushwick resemble a post-apocalyptic landscape of rubble, urban decay, defunct businesses and abandoned houses. Within this bleak landscape scattered amid the debris are macabre vignettes, like clumps of shoes hovering incongruously above the street or morning glories intertwined with barbed wire on the perimeters of junk yards."
-Deborah Brown, excerpt from artist's statement
