Gerard Torre, b. 1955 Brooklyn, NY

Jerry the Marble Faun lives and works in Queens, NY. He began hand-carving stone in 1987 and has most recently pursued ceramic sculpture. Jerry held his first exhibition in 2014 at Jackie Klempay Gallery, Brooklyn and has appeared in exhibitions at SITUATIONS, New York; Andrew Edlin Gallery, New York; Sculpture Center, Queens; 2nd Floor Projects, San Francisco; The Elaine de Kooning House, South Hampton, Geary Contemporary, New York, Bureau of General Services/Queer Division, New York; and Canada, New York; amongst others. This past summer Jerry participated in the Shandaken Project's residency program at Storm King Art Center in New Windsor, NY. Additionally, Jerry is well known as the Bouvier-Beales’ handyman from the Maysles brothers’ 1975 documentary . While living at Grey Gardens, Edith “Little Edie” Bouvier-Beale gave Jerry the nickname “the Marble Faun,” which Jerry accepted as a fated path to art-making. In addition to sculpting stone, Jerry worked as a gardener for the royal family of Saudi Arabia, with Wayland Flowers and his puppet, Madame, during their cabaret acts in the ’70s, and for twenty years as a taxi cab driver in New York City. Jerry has received widespread recognition and critical praise for his artwork from major outlets, including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Observer, Forbes, Vogue, Interview, and Architectural Digest. He had a solo exhibition at SITUATIONS in 2018. Also recently March 2021 he was also featured in the New York Times.

She lived and practiced art in NYC from 2012- 2020 where clients ranged from large commercial real estate companies to private collectors, universities, hospitals, lounges and public transportation spaces.

Her artwork abstractly examines concepts such as community, individualism, mathematics, evolution, time rituals through using a variety of materials including paper, plastic, paint, glitter, recycled magazines and beads.
