Flock
work by artist Mari Renwick
May 6 – August 5, 2012
The waxy embrace of the subjects in Mari Renwick’s art inspires the viewer to want the same embrace, the same unconditional love that the subjects of her paintings were fortunate enough to find. This is what shines through in the show “Flock”, Ms. Renwick’s series of Encaustic paintings. More…
Dog Versus Hat
work by artist John Tebeau

Fruit and Babies
Brooks Frederick
April 3 – August 6, 2011
Meet the artist Thursday, May 12 @ 7:00
This series of paintings is inspired by the rich food culture of New Orleans and south Louisiana where I grew up. The plastic babies I depict are known as ‘King Cake Babies.’ They are placed inside King Cakes, a cinnamon filled pastry-like cake eaten during Mardi Gras season. Tradition has it that whoever gets the baby throws the next party. Growing up, we kids made a game of finding the baby in the cake.
In this body of work, I am reinvestigating my interest in King Cake Babies, fruit and hot sauce for new purposes: visual one liners, a starting point for a dialogue about human subjects like race relations and intimacy.
Dizzy’s a proud participant of Dine In Brooklyn will be serving a three course dinner from 6 pm to 10 pm Monday through Sunday until March 31st.

ARTIST’S STATEMENT
I am a Photorealist painter, and I work from original photographs of images that I find personally appealing.
I like to explore the colors and textures of objects at a macro level. My paintings typically feature close-up views of tiny objects; I am particularly drawn to toys, candies, and other often-overlooked detritus of our popular culture. I find that when you isolate and magnify small details from these otherwise insignificant objects, they reveal more than just their hidden beauty; the mere act of enlarging these items to thousands of times their natural size and rendering all of the detail in paint creates a distinctly absurd sense of comedy. I like to think that my work makes people laugh, or at the very least it makes them more aware that there are entire worlds of beauty in even the tiniest object in their landscape.
