Derrick Velasquez in ‘No Lemon, No Melon’ at Flowers Gallery

With their staggered placement, Derrick Velasquez’s hand-cut strips of marine vinyl, draped over a wooden support, have shaggy ends recalling hair or fur. From close or afar, they’re pleasingly ordered but the visceral colors and bright yellow accents really bring the piece to life. (At Flowers Gallery in Chelsea through Sept 2nd).
