 A unique exhibit will be mounted at Duck Pond Gallery in Port Ewen this weekend in the colorful work of Andrew Potolsky, which includes mounted and framed freehand drawings, augmented with computer graphic applications and featuring the evolution of his signature character Comet. And if “Outsider art” is defined as being work produced by people who have not been culturally indoctrinated or socially conditioned, operating outside the fine-art system of things and often as a sort of private theater for personal self-expression, then the term might apply to the artwork of 21-year-old Potolsky. Deaf at birth and later diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome – each a condition that could challenge one’s social ability – Potolsky has been drawing pictures since he was a toddler.
