PUP ART Donated Art Show to Raise Money for Animal Rescue Group Jose Pedrera’s Art Show at Patrona Fusion Restaurant in

By Sally Deering It’s a wonderful life, but sometimes for dogs, life can be cruel. Pit bull owner Jose Pedrera of North Bergen hopes to change the luck for some dogs (and a couple of pigs, too,) this holiday season with the 2nd annual Donated Art Show where all the proceeds go to the dogs.

On Thurs, Dec. 6, from 6-11 pm, at Patrona Fusion Restaurant in West New York, Pedrera will host the Donated Art Show where the artwork of 35 artists will be up for sale. Artworks include paintings, photography, jewelry, and more, with 100% of the proceeds to be donated to the New York Bully Crew, a dog rescue group that saves abandoned, injured and abused dogs, especially Pit bulls.

“Any time of night, New York Bully Crew picks up stranded dogs,” Pedrera says. “They don’t turn any animal away.”

This is the second year Pedrera is hosting the Donated Art Show.

Last year Pedrera and the participating artists raised $2,400 which all went to New York Bully Crew for their rescue efforts. This year’s show is guaranteed to be bigger and better, Pedrera says, with 35 artists participating. Pedrera says that after he posted the

River View Observer Contributing Writer Anne Percoco’s exhibition at Casa Colombo of Jersey City explores the field of Parallel Botany: the study of imaginary plants. Inspired

by Leo Lionni’s book of the same title, Percoco has gathered and cataloged an herbarium of invented species through a series of 70+drawings and collages. Also included in the exhibition is a live Italian thistle plant and takeaway seed packets, as well as an artist book.

The artist explains: “As city-dwellers, we only occasionally come in contact with wilderness, yet we frequently see icons and symbols of nature in packaging, advertisements, and decorations, such as the abstract leaf on a disposable coffee cup. I conceive of these symbols as colonizing our mental landscapes, supplanting real vegetation in our concrete jungles, and replacing extinct species.”

Percoco has gathered found samples of botanical imagery (from consumer detritus and other myriad sources) and used them as collage material in these works on paper, yielding plants which appear plausible at first glance, but break down upon examination. For example, some plants are digitally pixelated, some are abstracted, and some contain images within the leaves. Yet, she says, “although these species are entirely invented, they came about through observation of the morphology of real vegetation. These collages are, for me, an investigation of plantness.”

The thistle, carduus pycnocephalus, is native to Italy but is considered invasive to the United States. Percoco, a fourth generation Italian who is seeking dual citizenship by descent, is thinking through nuanced questions of invasiveness, displacement, and relocation, for plants as well as human culture. In this way, the artwork exists in dialogue with Casa

Colombo’s documentation of the historic Italian immigrant community in Jersey City.

Also at play is the legacy of Casa Colombo’s namesake and the role of colonialism in the Columbian exchange— the massive, global exchange of plants and people that has lead to the mixing and matching of ecosystems around the world—echoed in Percoco’s fantastical species.
