Brock Enright in ‘Slip’ at Mitchell-Innes & Nash

Titled ‘Beach,’ these copper leaf covered Doritos by Brooklyn-based artist Brock Enright, along with ‘Night,’ ‘Secret 3,’ and ‘Winter’ up the wall, look like moths or jewelry – fragile emanations of junk food. (At Chelsea’s Mitchell-Innes & Nash through July 25th).

Garth Weiser at Casey Kaplan Gallery

Garth Weiser continues to pursue the possibilities for contemporary abstraction with sumptuous metallic paintings like this one (seen in detail).  Weiser applies copper leaf over layers of acrylic, then cuts into the surface using a razor creating patterns with color and texture.  (At Chelsea’s Casey Kaplan Gallery through June 22nd).
