For November Projects Gallery will feature Philadelphia artist Jim Brossy’s second solo show “Left Behind,” Known for his wildly expressive figurative mixed media assemblages, Brossy focuses on the frequently overlooked for his subject matter. With his signature use of a sophisticated hodgepodge, Brossy crafts figures from debris, construction material, as well as traditional paint. Modest blue-collar workers, barflies, the homeless, children, and the detritus of society are depicted in material reflective of their social status. Cheeky political references imbue the work with a dual seriousness and humor. Brossy’s work asks the viewer to consider grand social issues but to never take themselves, or the work, too seriously. A preview of the artist’s work is available at www.projectsgallery.com/Brossy.html.

Jim Brossy – Left Behind will be on display November 6 – 28, 2009. There will also be an artist reception First Friday November 6th from 6 – 9 p.m. The reception is free and open to the public.
