PATRICK BREEN (PATRICK)
Mr. Breen's interest in the tangible arts dates back to fourth grade when an astute curator scooped up his "COLLAGE OF EYES", an Warwellian dreamscape of ocularity excised from magazines and crudely Elmered onto construction paper, and included it in a prestigious Staten Island art show of 1969. It was at that show where, though it was mostly hidden behind a door in a hallway between galleries, the poignant metaphor of his searching and curious boyhood soul hung, which forty years later finds expression in the gallery he now operates with Willie Garson. He supports is art "habit" through sporadic acting engagements such as the recent Broadway productions of The Normal Heart and Next Fall. He has appeared in the occasional film, Ishtar, Galaxy Quest, The Bleeding House, Men in Black, Just a Kiss, Cirque Du Freak. And some TV: Nurse Jackie, The Good Wife, Sex and The City, Will and Grace, Kevin Hill, 21 Jump Street and Gimme a Break. IMDB
