Right off the bat, Brooklynite Gallery comes out swinging--- hitting a grand slam for its premiere show featuring new print works by the artist BAST entitled "Nose Candy." An opening reception will be held on Tuesday, June 10th 2008. The BAST show will run from June 10th to July 12th, 2008.

The brand new Brooklynite Gallery is located in the Stuyvesant Heights neighborhood of Bedford Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. As pioneers in the area, nothing is better than introducing the gallery to the art world than with the cutting-edge work of BAST. Internationally renowned and always ahead of the curve, BAST juxtaposes a raw street-edge sensibility, an eclectic montage of pop culture “confusion” and the boundaries of sex in his work.

This time around BAST’s new collection targets jewelry, or “bling” if you will, as he once again finds a new way to satisfy the eyes appetite for visual candy. As if his ironic pairing and displaced imagery wasn’t enough, or even the infusion of vibrant neon color schemes, the bar is once again raised with the sparkle and glitter of ornamentation.

With a penchant for pop art and an instinctive ear to the ground, Brooklynite Gallery’s director Rae McGrath is breaking new ground in Bed Stuy. As an artist and filmmaker born & raised in Brooklyn, this artist-run gallery is geared towards street art with a hint of pop—but not necessarily. McGrath feels the art that will be featured at Brooklynite should not be defined by category. “When you see something, and it just works---that’s the kind of art we plan to show.” The modern building that houses Brooklynite Gallery was design and created by Rae McGrath---bringing modern design to the area has created an unprecedented buzz of excitement to the neighborhood.
