“It Ain’t Easy Bein’ Green,”
from local artist Joey Brock.

brock studio gallery will introduce its latest mixed media collection,
“It Ain’t Easy Bein’ Green,”
from local artist Joey Brock.

The event, held in conjunction with neighboring Bettinger Studio’s fine art photography
show, will also showcase fine art photography entitled
“A Body of Work” by Denise Tarango and sculpture by Zad Roumaya.

“It Ain’t Easy Bein’ Green” is Brock’s second collection since the opening
of brock studio gallery in early 2010 and advances his unique style of communicating the
clash between urban and natural environments.
Brock’s 13-piece series combines acrylic paint, conté crayon, pencil
and paper on clayboard and canvas with found media such as rusty
drill bits, sandpaper, stone, twine and glass for powerful statements
about environmental corruption.

Inspired by the timeless song performed by Kermit the Frog in Sesame
Street’s first season on TV, “Bein’ Green” is Brock’s creative expression
of the complexities of being green. The works explore the power of
one singular act to change a landscape in both negative and
positive ways.

“I find an interesting association with this song and how its lyrics mimic
the human struggle to be green today,” said Brock. “The dichotomy
of green’s power to big business, money versus environment, truly
inspired this collection.”
