Landscapes viewed from a car crop up regularly in 20th century art, but Linda Gottesfeld’s landscapes viewed ON a car at George Adams Gallery offer a different take on the road trip. Painted directly on the metal panels of cars, Gottesfeld’s views of highways, gas stations and verdant roadside greenery are made uncanny by the shapes of their supports. Here, an image on a wheelarch suggests that something has been cut away while three open sections at center not only disrupt the illusion of the painted sky but hint at motion with their angular shapes. (On view in Tribeca through April 5th).
