NOW through January 2

Art Show featuring eclectic, playful art by sculptor, producer and author Jonathan Pearlman

Quogue Library 

Jonathan Pearlman's sculptures are an extension of his eclectic and whimsical view of the world we inhabit. He has always been interested in what lies beneath the surface and in his sculptures he transforms everyday objects into a new, imaginative form. Whether it's wheels, brushes or shoes, his goal is that the viewer of the final piece will discover the intrinsic beauty that exists even in the most mundane objects. Although he has no formal training in art, he was influenced by his life-long friendship with Swiss illustrator and sculptor Paul Degen. In the summer of 2012 he had his second one-man sculpture exhibit at the Water Mill Museum and was the sole juror for the East End Arts Gallery "Found Objects" show. Jonathan's art is included in several private collections on Long Island. Jonathan sculpts and writes in his studio in East Quogue, New York. His exhibit will be on display from December 1 to January 2. All are welcome.
