Grand Opening & Exhibition of Second Story Art Gallery in Atlantic Highlands

Friday,
September 13, from 6pm to 9pm is the grand opening of the Second Story Art
Gallery, 78 First Ave, Atlantic Highlands. 
Located above The Painted Frame, Second Story Art Gallery is the
culmination of owner and artist Robert O’Connor’s project to bring an arts
related business and presence to First Avenue in Atlantic Highlands.  Taking its name not only from its location on
the second floor, but from its focus on work with a story – the gallery will
present art and exhibitions with some narrative, fantasy, drama or other
feature that inspired its creation. 



The
first exhibition “Bending Me Powerless” was created during the blackout
following Hurricane Sandy by Robert O’Connor. 
With painterly images of clouds, a lone figure on a beach or abstracted
snapped telephone poles and boat sails, these hauntingly rich pictures find
something beautiful in the destruction that visited the Jersey Shore last
October.
