“If It’s So Then Let Me Know”
 Chris Fennell

Newman Popiashvili Gallery, 504 West 22nd St., NYC

This show continues Fennell’s ongoing practice of creating mixed media collages whose organic and geometric patterns reference nature, mathematics, architecture, and religious art. Fennell’s primary medium is paper, cut in differently sized circles and lines that overlap in layers.

Opens Tomorrow, Apr 19, 6-8p:

”Open Gates”
 Sara Bichão

Rooster Gallery, 190 Orchard St., NYC (just below Houston St.)

The exhibition reflects two distinct creative moments divided between both floors of the gallery. Upstairs, Bichão presents five paintings on an unusual support material – blocks of Styrofoam, coated with fiberglass, which in turn are coated with concrete. The drawings being shown downstairs constitute another moment of the artist’s creative state, intimately connected with the works described above. They are loosely drawn on single sheets of paper, without geometric restrictions or apparent guiding symmetry, but with the same arcane symbols bearing the ancestral charge of a universal idiom. - thru May 27

Continues thru Mar 25:

”Totally”
 Tofer Chin

Lu Magnus, 55 Hester St., NYC

Tofer Chin’s new body of work of geometric paintings, photographic wall wrap and sculpture utilizes color palette reflecting the brash attitude of the ‘80s and early ‘90s skater culture. Black, white and neon resonate throughout the exhibition. The geometric construction of the paintings is based on mathematical calculations, with titles based on the sum of its constituent parts: number, color and form. For example, the painting 31 White Lines on Black is made up of 31 white lines on a black background.

Continues thru Oct 30 :

Seher Shah “Object Anxiety” :

Scaramouche Gallery 52 Orchard St, NYC :

“Featuring a collection of drawings, prints, photographs, and sculptural works, “Object Anxiety” continues the artist’s exploration of architectural modernism, specifically, new Brutalism’s engineered social spaces and urban environments. With its oppressive scale, hard-edged geometric forms, and imposing concrete structures, Shah views Brutalism as particularly authoritarian. Breaking down its structures into their component parts, Shah pieces these visual objects together into delicate abstractions that deconstruct their imposition on the human landscape.”
