It’s risky to take too long a look at Sikkema Jenkins & Co’s gallery wall – British abstract artist Terry Haggerty’s mural can literally upend your balance as his painted lines appear to twist and bend in space. The optical surprises continue in painted wooden panels that invite us to try to make out the multiple viewpoints depicted in each piece. Whether you walk away with a headache or invigorated by the effort of wrestling with your perceptions, the show is worth engaging. (On view in Chelsea through June 30th).
