This month’s First Friday exhibit features the artwork of Matt Fricovsky. Based in Brooklyn with his wife Mary and their aptly-named dog Mohawk, his artistic pursuits span from canvas to camera lens, specializing in sports and fitness photography, with homebrewing beer rounding out his creative outlets.

Fricovsky’s oil paintings, predominantly portraits, are explorations of human complexity, each face a new terrain, capturing more shadow than light while revealing inner depths that words alone cannot express.

His paintings invite viewers to acknowledge the beauty inherent in melancholy, the comfort found in darkness, and the profound connections possible when we allow ourselves to fully experience the world’s complexities without looking away.

Fricovsky’s artwork will be on display throughout November and December. For the First Friday opening party, we’ll have DJ Alias, courtesy of BierWax, spinning tunes and good eats by GG’s Fish & Chips. Come take in the art and music on the waterfront!
