The Guide

Kirby Brownell’s work defies boundaries, diving headfirst into the rich terrain of the subconscious. A self-taught artist and musician, Brownell creates paintings, collages, and drawings rooted in surreal automatism—a method of making art by bypassing conscious control to let the unconscious mind guide the process. This intuitive, stream-of-consciousness style results in work that feels both raw and unfiltered, full of energy, emotion, and unexpected forms. Whether on canvas or paper, his compositions ripple with layered meaning, echoing the tumult and curiosity of a life lived creatively and candidly.

This play by Sandy Rustin premiered on Broadway two years ago. It’s a sort of homage to the work of Noel Coward, and it takes place in the English countryside. Again, sounds subtle, old-fashioned, maybe unsexy, right? But! Sylvia is the main character, and she’s in this cottage with her lover, Beau, doing the things lovers usually do there. Sylvia wants to seal the deal with him. Beau, well, not so much. That’s awkward, but not as awkward as what happens next: Their spouses — yup, you read that right — are coming to cottage — and Sylvia wants to reveal the affair to them. It sounds awkward ... But sparks fly, hijinks ensue, and so on!
