Time and Place
Time and place, an exhibition of work by two local artists, Phil DeSantis and Linda Berkowitz. Their work encompasses the natural and industrial landscape surrounding the Gowanus Canal and local Brooklyn neighborhoods. It shows the contrast of old and new Brooklyn, nature, growth, and decay, elements of the past and dreams of the future.
Linda Berkowitz’s work in oil pastel, watercolor and acrylic is meditative. She finds beauty and magic in nature. Surrounded by the noise of the city she finds quiet spaces to paint. Some of her work is created on location, while other pieces are from photos that she takes.
Phil DeSantis searches for the “extraordinary in the “ordinary”. He has been taking photographs of the neighborhoods of Brooklyn, looking to capture the essence of “place” and how it is affected by the time of day. When zooming in on his subject he discovers the abstract relationships between color, shape, light, and space.

440 Gallery celebrates small-scale creativity and innovation with The 18th Annual Small Works Show currently on display at the gallery. This national juried show, a collection of 85 works submitted by nearly 500 artists, is our annual way to acknowledge that size is irrelevant to awesomeness. Artwork qualified for selection as long as it measured no more than 12” in all dimensions, including framing and any digital media hardware required for display. Johnny Thornton, the 2022 juror, considered over 1,400 submissions ranging from traditional painting and sculpture, to photography and digital works of art.
The Small Works Show is a favorite annual event for gallery followers and art collectors alike. We are pleased to announce several awards that will be given to artists participating in the show. This year, the 440 Gallery Award, selected by the artist-members of the gallery, will be renamed the Jim Manwell Memorial Award, in memory of our dear friend and supporter Jim Manwell. The People’s Choice Award, voted on through social media, and the Juror’s Choice Award, selected by Johnny Thornton, will also be awarded.
