Leslie Wayne’s paintings give pleasure through deception; her signature technique is to use paint as a sculptural medium, fooling the eye with dried paint crafted in three dimensions. Wayne’s latest solo show at Jack Shainman Gallery presents paintings that appear to be objects in her studio or windows that do or do not offer a view. On closer inspection, each is carefully crafted to resemble a well-used tool, now worse for wear. Constructed over the past year, each artwork speaks to brokenness close to home. (On view in Chelsea through July 2nd.)
