Doors are officially open! 🌑✨
Day one of my solo exhibition, "The Sound of Shadows," is officially underway for the LIC Arts Open - Open Studios weekend!
Come by today and tomorrow to see my recent work and catch the debut of brand-new, hand-drawn portraits—including Ice-T, Amy Winehouse, and icons from the world of K-Pop—all created in my signature "symphony in black and silver" style.
If you're around this afternoon, the Opening Day Event kicks off at 1:00 PM today! I'd love to chat art, music, and show you around the space.

⏰ Hours: 12:00 PM – 6:00 PM both days
📍 Where: 46-04 Skillman Ave, Sunnyside, NY 11104

This will be for the closing party of @licartsopen at @secrettheatreny . We are so happy to have the opportunity to play this neighborhood-inspired music for you again. It’s been a long time!
Check out work by Janet Bruesselback at 43-01 21st Street, LIC NY
Studio 122a
May 16 & 17, 12pm -6pm
Bruesselbach uses figurative oil painting toward speculative realism, melding human intimacy with radical relationships to technology. The artist’s imaginative experiment seeks cyborg feminism, representing embodied subjects, captured during conversational live poses, within non-representational, generative spaces. Its influences manifest as emphatic lucidity and pulp surrealistic excess moderated with pragmatic humor. Movements evade dominant narratives, aiming to celebrate queer humans and queerer concepts with diverse community engagement. Compositions often deliberately challenge expectations of spatial orientation, setting, consistency, and aesthetic values, driven by sensual exuberance.
