Embers of the Maritime by Greg Lindquist

Brooklyn-based painter, Greg Lindquist, who released a 20x200 double edition of pieces Embers of the Marine and Industry of Decay, Decay of Industry in late February, opens a solo show titled Brooklyn Industry at the BAM Peter Jay Sharp Building on Wednesday, March 11th. The show combines several new works created for BAM in addition to a selection of paintings previously exhibited in a solo show, Remembrance of Things Past.

From the press release:

Within his haunting urban landscapes, the dilapidated manufacturing plants and warehouses, abandoned docks, and new construction sites, all the more frequently seen along the waterfront, are quietly silhouetted against hazy, silvery skies.

It is here that these become symbolic spaces that simultaneously capture the possibilities and probabilities of Brooklyn’s future as well as its lingering, often romanticized past, converging themes and images of destruction and renewal, rapid redevelopment and inevitable decay.

The exhibition will be on view through April 26.

Opening Reception: Wed, March 11th, 6-8pm
