I rent studio space at BAG and hoped to put one of my small, older paintings in this show - did not get a chance to submit in time but I did attend the show's opening tonight and it was packed.

    

There were 50 artists in the show which is up for a week - here's two pictures (as in day and night) one indoors and the other, outside the converted warehouse that BrooklynArtistsGym.com is located in, on the 3rd floor.  By the way, it's a Full Moon tonight (howl) and there was a lot of light out - but not enough to make my photos come out - I had to up the color and light saturation to see anything on the second picture.

Here's the artists that I liked the most in this show:

Sex Series I and II by Arthur L.Frick III (it's the artist after having sex with his girlfriend)

 

Gowanus or Third Avenue (not sure which) by Amanda Kavanagh.  BAG is within a couple of blocks of the Gowanus (river/inlet) and right off Third Avenue in Brooklyn, so the pictures are of scenes right next door.

Pacific Subscape by Lisa Lebofsky had a very nice realistic yet abstract quality and I would have liked to speak with Lisa, but could not identify her (or maybe she was not present).

 

The overall quality of the work was good - did not see anything that was "brakeout" quality but I have a pretty good eye for art.

In my next post I will cover the surprise of the evening!
