Bay Ridge artist Beryl Brenner currently
has her colorful works in glass featured in several exhibits
throughout New York City and three in Brooklyn: "The Artists
of Urban Glass" (through Dec. 24) on Rockwell Street between
Fulton Street and DeKalb Avenue in Fort Greene and "Glass
and Textile Art" and "My Personal Story" (both
on display until Dec. 28) at the Williamsburg Art and Historical
Center at 135 Broadway at Bedford Avenue.
Brenner frequently incorporates heart shapes in her work, such
as in "Indecisive Heart" (pictured), despite the challenges
of manipulating her chosen medium.
"[Glass] is cold and hard, so it is not normally utilized
as a visual mechanism for the communication of one’s emotions,"
said Brenner in a statement. "Yet glass is irresistible.
You cannot take your eyes off of it. Glass art makes powerful
visual statements."
