On Friday, July 18th, Greenport Harbor Brewing Co. will host their latest art exhibition, “Postcards from the Rock” at their Greenport Village tasting room. The exhibition will showcase the abstract works of Gavin Zeigler.

Gavin Zeigler is a Shelter Island-based visual artist, sculptor, and photographer that has created several series of mixed media abstractions utilizing repurposed objects and unearthed ephemera—pennies, keys, defunct stock certificates and bank checks. Zeigler has found a distinct voice and vision within these found objects, items that have faded into the background or approaching obsolescence, mining an iconography that has become commonplace and peripheral, yet bears a texture through its transactional function that Zeigler interprets as collaborative.

His mixed media collages utilize antique stock and bond certificates, each bearing its unique markings of signatures, serial numbers, dates, stamps, and perforations signifying something of a historical journey to its current form as a found object within Zeigler’s art. They loom in the background, obscured and seemingly out of reach beneath several coats of paint. “It adds an element of discovery,” Zeigler explains, demonstrating the subtle interactive quality of his pieces, naturally drawing our eye to the icons and artifacts concealed under patterns of paint, creating a sense of texture and depth, evolving based on our proximity to each piece. Like a spectral transmission, these fragments reach out to us, renewed as they are rediscovered.

“Postcards from the Rock” will hold its opening reception on Friday, July 18^th, 2025, from 7 to 9 p.m. at GHBC’s flagship location at 234 Carpenter Street, Greenport, NY. This exhibit will be on view through September 2025.

Newly released brews on tap and local wine are available.

Tasting Room/Gallery Hours: Monday -Thursday 12-8pm; Friday -Saturday 12-9pm; Sunday 12-7pm
