About the Exhibition
Lunchnotes began as a morning ritual during Covid —Every morning I have a coffee and make a small painting to tuck into my son’s lunchbox. These improvisational gestures, blending humor and dialogue, accumulated over time into a visual diary that maps an evolving personal language of saturated color, invented forms, and playful non sequiturs. Each painted note is a fragment of an ongoing conversation, accumulating over time into a visual language of collection of funny, messy, and tender ways of showing love. What started as a lighthearted exchange deepened into an inquiry on care, communication, and the poetics of immediacy.
​
This exhibition brings together a selection of original Lunchnotes alongside larger paintings and ceramic works that translate these intimate moments into public space, offering a meditation on how small, everyday gestures can gather weight and lasting meaning.
At its heart, Lunchnotes is about collecting small moments and letting them speak. Small things carry weight. Everyday moments are anything but ordinary.
About the Artist
Brooklyn Buzzy (b.1976, Ohio) likes to find things, put them together, and see what happens. With a background in science (BS biology and MAc acupuncture), she is drawn to transformation, and the beauty of weird-imperfect things. Her work includes thickly painted lunch-notes for her son, oversized portraits, ‘ugly-cute’ ceramic creatures, and found object assemblage. Inspired by children’s drawings, imperfect objects, and half-told stories, she builds intimate, offbeat little worlds.
Buzzy has exhibited widely, including solo shows at Spring Break Art Show (2021), Jay Street Bar (2024), and an upcoming solo show at Established Gallery in Brooklyn, as well as participating in Other Art Fair (2024). Her work has found collectors nationally and overseas. When Buzzy is not making art, she’s busy raising her three kids in Brooklyn, who are also her most influential critics.
