My Brooklyn Navy Yard neighbor THOMAS WITTE just had an opening for his new exhibition
AT HOME AND ABROAD at the B. Beamesderfer Gallery. Very cool stencil art work on glass and other material.
He usually comes over to steel beer, chocolate or even a red bull out of my fridge and now that he is getting famous I wonder if he’ll still do that . So I asked him a couple of questions:

Poby: How does it feel to be famous now ?
Witte: I am not even close to being famous. Do you have any beers ?
Poby: You know where they are !
The show , I must say, really looks fantastic . Your work is very strong, the presentation is clean and has a very good feel. Did you have help putting this together ?
Witte: The pieces I chose were a collaborative effort between me and the gallery owner. I was choosing the placement and he did the framing and mounting for the series of six Israel pieces . The rest was ready to hang. It was really nice to see my new work out of the context of my studio in the Navy Yard.
Poby: Honestly, it never looked better, mate ! So our chats finally paid off?
Witte: Well, I never thought that countless hours of pointless conversations would actually lead to better work , but it appears that our relationship has led me down paths I wouldn’t have discovered otherwise.
Poby: It sounds like the beer talking now. I think it’s time to end this here. But thanks anyway, mate. Looking forward to the next works to come !

Here are some pictures from the opening night:
