Jason Middlebrook: Fun with Fungi

Solo Exhibition of Sculpture, Paintings and Drawings from Jason Middlebrook. Opening Reception: Saturday July 11th, 1-5pm. Closing Reception: Sunday August 30th, 1-5pm. Jason Middlebrook writes: The Hudson Valley, where our annual rainfall is over 45 inches, creates perfect conditions for fungi to spread. The forms, texture, scale and symbolic nature of fungi has been an inspiration in my work for many years. Fungi are Earth's recyclers, breaking down organic matter and releasing it into soil. Artists are recyclers as well. In many cases, my mushroom paintings treat the form as a cherished sculpture, similar to the sculptures in the show.
