We're SO excited to announce our first artist residency at the gallery! Our dear friend Buzzy will be using the gallery as her workspace through the end of February. The gallery will not have open hours during this residency, but stay tuned for updates and pics of what Buzzy is working on!
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Buzzy (b. 1976) is a Brooklyn-based artist whose work spans painting, sculpture, and assemblage. Her practice is rooted in her painted lunch notes, created as colorful, non sequitur messages for her youngest son on repurposed packaging. These little paintings, full of spontaneity and texture, form the heart of her creative process.
​
Currently, Buzzy is creating a series of ceramic creatures that bring the energy of the lunch notes into three-dimensional form. Her lumpy, anthropomorphic figures embrace an “ugly-cute” aesthetic, blending humor with sincerity. Accented with 24K gold, these pieces merge opulence with a raw, unpolished quality, embracing a high-low vibe that celebrates authenticity and vulnerability.
Guided by a deep connection to her materials and process, Buzzy invites viewers to reconsider traditional notions of beauty and value through her joyful and unconventional creations. Buzzy draws inspiration from her children, who are also her most trusted critics.
