A few highlights: the giant red disk of goo by Piotr Uklanski, threads of smoke rendered in a gigantic tapestry by Pae White, the delicate intricacy of Roland Flexner’s surrealist ink paintings, and the reductive still-life abstractions of Lesley Vance.

The distant roar of thunder isn’t tomorrow’s nor’ easter, it’s anticipation for the upcoming art fairs. Combination art exhibit, trade convention, three ring circus, and endurance test – there’s something for everyone. Actually there’s more than enough for everyone. So choose wisely!
