Artist Brian Petro has long kept his art studio separate from his home. Brian works in both traditional media (paint, charcoal, wood) and found objects and ephemera like old passports, bills, and suitcases. Click through to take a mini-tour of Brian's Lower East Side art studio.
Brian enjoys finding objects that most people don't notice, and incorporating these items into his artwork. Brian makes paintings, drawings, sculptures, photographs, and collages. See more of Brian Petro's artwork on his website. Keep posted for an upcoming tour of Brian's home.

look at you Brian! awesome!
This amazes me. There are very few pieces of my own work that I can look at without wanting to continually make changes. Brian, how do you do it?!?
Lower East Side? His website addresses are in D.C. What's up with that?
So this is where you hang out when you're not with us... Great space!
