BROOKLYN STREET ART LOVES YOU MORE EVERY DAY

The dance floor was wet, some of the work in the back yard had to come off the walls to protect it, but the orchestra played “In the Mood” brightly and the guests gamely took a twirl for the fun of it at street artist Dain’s first solo show of his fine art at Brooklynite Gallery .

Saturday’s show hinged itself on the theme of 1940’s glamour in old Brooklyn, and the gallery was quite literally transformed into a middle class apartment with flourishes and pitch-perfect detail enough to make you think that maybe it always looks like this.

The work showed a graduated movement forward by the artist from his street art work, with greater layering and collaging, finer detail, thoughtful splattering of color, and a thick coat of lacquer. Despite the weather, the mood inside Brooklynite was warm, congenial, and celebratory.
