Young Bronx-based painter Cheyenne Julien’s portrait of her father speaks powerfully to his love of music and his comfort in his own space. Surrounded and transported by music, he appears to both meet his viewer’s gaze and look beyond and upwards. A huge pink-toned foot at the painting’s foreground is boldly positioned, the rest of his body relaxed suggesting confident comfort. (On view at Chapter NY on the Lower East Side through Oct 10th. Masks and social distancing required and appointments recommended.)
