Plus One explores artistic affinity through ten pairings of works in different media ranging from painting and calligraphy to found object sculpture. An opening reception will be held on Friday, November 22 from 7-9 PM at the gallery’s location at 56 Bogart Street in Brooklyn, NY.

In preparation for this exhibition, participating artist members invited one artist with whom their work resonates. The artistic pairings and collaborative works on view in Plus One illustrate moments when works relate in terms of content and artistic inspiration yet diverge in materials and processes. The effect is complimentary and calls to mind the long history of artistic influence as it changes from one practitioner to the next. The collaborations and juxtapositions of works explore a variety of socio-political themes such as environmentalism, feminism, as well as shared interests in figuration and material explorations of form through painting and mixed media.
