An artist's reception will be held June 28, 6:30 – 8:30pm.

Jessica McAvoy is an emerging artist who lives and works on Long Island. This exhibition displays a collection of bold charcoal drawings that reveals the artist’s interest in an expressive approach to form and space. Her compositions make direct reference to paintings by Spanish artist, Francisco Goya, although she alters the imagery by introducing the form of the rooster. The portrayal of fowl in these dark emotive drawings conveys an absurdity that speaks to McAvoy’s sensibility.
The gallery will be open during theater performances only. Please check patchoguetheater.com for a schedule.

His artwork ranges from wall hangings to large-scale multi-media installations which function as social/cultural commentary. A collector of found objects, Orehek has formed a pallet of detritus which he draws from to create assemblages of glass, metal, ceramic, etc. These materials are cultural markers, indicators of what the culture that made them deemed valuable. The juxtaposition of material and symbolism expresses the artist's interest in aesthetic and conceptual isssues.This exhibition includes five mixed media wall pieces by Clayton Orehek.
