‘Every time I look out a window, a new floor is built onto a new tower,’ writes New York painter Benjamin Degen as he explains about how his recent work considers communities of individuals and friends against the backdrop of a rapidly changing city. One of these characters in ‘Fast Swimmer’ is literally wrapped up by her environment, which abounds in patterns. (At Susan Inglett Gallery through Dec 5th).
