Join LGBTQ+ artists , J Dice and Paul DeRuvo, for our June exhibit entitled, “Relational Perspectives” opening at The Studio Around the Corner 67 Main Street in Brewster, NY on Friday, June 1 at 7:00-9:00PM. Admission is free and light refreshments will be served.
J Dice is a pansexual, non binary photographer and artist. They have created a series of portraits of members of the LGBTQ+ community in an elegant, homey way to entice viewers to relate to the subjects and intrigue them to learn more about each individual. J’s exhibit includes works printed on fabric, matte paper with charcoal, and glossy photos in eclectic frames and is accompanied by their book entitled [+] which is a dictionary of LGBTQ+ terms juxtaposed with some photographs from the series. J is honored and excited to be showing at The Studio Around the Corner and cannot wait to meet the individuals who come to view the show.
“Through my art, I can only hope to spread love where there is hate, hope where there is none, acceptance where there is prejudice, and information where there is ignorance.” - J Dice
Paul DeRuvo is the associate printer at the Center For Contemporary Printmaking and an LGBT artist and printmaker. Through portraiture and a background based in documentary photography Paul DeRuvo utilizes observational drawing and traditional printmaking techniques to present images of their own body and those of their intimates in the space of their daily lives. Their work explores ideas about intimacy, gender, and the transformative power of love in relationship to ourselves and others. Through the devotional act of rendering and the craft of fine printing, they hope to reclaim part of the history of representation and find expression for shared moments of compassion. 11 Prints are included in the exhibition spanning 8 years of their creative practice. Paul DeRuvo appreciates the opportunity to be showing at The Studio Around the Corner gallery and to share their work with the Cultural Arts Coalition and greater Brewster Community alongside the photographs of J Dice .

The Studio Around The Corner is located at the rear entrance of 67 Main Street in Brewster, NY.
