The Front Room Gallery Presents: "Unwritten" Thomas Broadbent February 18-March 20 Opening Reception: Friday, February 18th from 7-9pm In this solo exhibition of works from his �Sketchbook Series� Thomas Broadbent selects principal concepts and ideas from his private artists� log and heightens his focus to get to the core of their complex meaning. His detailed watercolors and drawings question the utility of each compositional component and are presented in such a manner to disengage and re-present their perceived use. Broadbent�s new works on paper incorporate trompe l'oeil representations of seemingly unrelated objects and scenes, which allude to existentialistic ideas and create sophisticated associative meaning within each piece. The large scale watercolors he presents succinctly capture the illusive quality of sketchbook thoughts. His sensitivity to color, tactility, and structure propel these thoughts into reality, while maintaining a key tie to illusion and metaphor. Coming March 5th: Armory Event (Focus on Williamsburg) Saturday, March 5th 7-10pm (featuring a special presentation by Steven Gagnon) The Front Room will feature Steven Gagnon�s first ever NYC presentation of �Border Cruiser� during Armory show week. The �Border Cruiser� projection vehicle will be stationed outside of our Williamsburg location March 5th between 7-10 pm. Viewable evenings during Feb 2-5, �Border Cruiser� is a video installation inside a former police car. The story of a Brazilian immigrant�s illegal entry into the United States and the continued hardship he faces will be projected from the inside onto the rear windows of the vehicle. Catch a glimpse of the �Border Cruiser� rove the streets of Brooklyn and Manhattan as it makes special appearances at various locations in conjunction with art fairs during the armory show week. |
