Art League of Long Island Presents "Retrospect - The Individual Art of Collaboration in Reconstructive Surgery"

The Jeanie Tengelsen Gallery at the Art League of Long Island is proud to present, in conjunction with October’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month, "Retrospect - The Individual Art of Collaboration in Reconstructive Surgery." Running from September 28 through October 18, 2024, this exhibition delves into the interplay between personal artistry and collaborative efforts in the context of breast reconstruction, showcasing how the healing process can transcend medicine to become an inspiring narrative of restoration and personal resilience.

This unique exhibition explores the intersection of medicine and art through the lens of two accomplished breast reconstruction surgeons, Dr. Ron Israeli and Dr. Jonathan Bank, whose careers and artistic endeavors are deeply intertwined. The exhibition traces the evolution of their work since their initial meeting during the inception of Dr. Israeli's "Restored" project in 2012, highlighting how their combined and individual artistic projects serve as both educational tools and sources of artistic inspiration.
