Leigh Ruple at Morgan Lehman Gallery

A chain link fence rises like steam before a fiery sunset in Leigh Ruple’s ‘Metropolitan Avenue,’ an otherwise nondescript industrial scene turned electric by intense light, bands of color and prowling cats. (On view at Morgan Lehman Gallery in Chelsea through Feb 10th).
