Gallery 364’s Remarkable ‘Recycle, Reused, Rescued’ Art Show

BAY RIDGE — Ingenuity is the guiding concept behind the art show themes that Bay Ridge Gallery 364 and its founder/owner Georgine Benvenuto throws out to the art world in and around Bay Ridge. The “Recycle, Reused, Rescued” theme for the current show at the gallery at 364 72nd St. gave another remarkable burst of creativity by artists, photographers and sculptors challenged and inspired by the latest ingenious theme.

Here is a sampling of the exhibit featuring artworks made of wooden doors and pieces, children’s toys, used guitars, and an array of imaginative venues. They treated viewers at the show’s opening night and stirred artistic excitement anew at Gallery 364 that has become the talk of Brooklyn’s art circles and the Bay Ridge community. Viewing is by appointment only, call (917) 767-3848. The show runs through July 23 and further information is at

AWARD WINNING ASSEMBLAGE ARTIST DAWN ROBYN PETRILIK WILL GUEST JUDGE

Assemblage artist Dawn Robyn Petrlik has been creating noteworthy work in NYC for over a decade. Her pieces range from large scale
theatrical designs (Radio City Music Hall, Broadway, Television) to
intimate landscape paintings (currently on view in Brooklyn), to live
installation works; most notably, "The Lonely Death of Esmin Green",
and "A Photo Op with Sarah Palin", both of which garnered worldwide
media attention in 2008. Described as 'part Michael Moore and part
Disney', Ms. Petrlik's work frequently returns to the theme of death
and our struggle with the world around us. Animals are a recurring
vehicle for her story telling, and her lifesize deer sculptures
utilize multiple materials that underscore their own creation. She is
happy to be able to be a guest judge at Gallery 364, where her sculpture
'Deer Down' won Best in Show last fall. For more information on her
work, please visit www.dawnrobyn.com.....
