Brian Adam Douglas in ‘Anthems for the Mother Earth Goddess,’ at Andrew Edlin Gallery

When this show at Andrew Edlin Gallery comes down, it’ll do so literally when the building is demolished later this year. In the meantime, the gallery invited seven artists to make environmentally-themed art directly on the walls. Here, gallery artist Brian Adam Douglas riffs on Gericault’s famous early 19th century shipwreck scene, ‘Raft of the Medusa,’ while picturing the dire effects of environmental catastrophe. (In Chelsea through Aug 15th.)

Beverly Buchanan at Andrew Edlin Gallery

Known for constructing mini-models of everyday architecture from the southern United States, Beverly Buchanan captures the look and feel of a place in scraps of wood, metal and plastic. (At Chelsea’s Andrew Edlin Gallery through June 13th).

Domenico Zindato at Andrew Edlin Gallery

Italian-born artist Domenico Zindato works on each of his meticulous paintings outdoors, at his home in Cuernavaca, Mexico.  Inspired by his trips to India and Morocco, Sufi music and more, Zindato’s colorful, pattern-rich scenes invite entrée into a magical, alternate universe.  (At Chelsea’s Andrew Edlin Gallery through Jan 18th).

Brian Adam Douglas at Andrew Edlin Gallery

Brian Adam Douglas’ surreal, Neo Rauch- like images of anonymous characters intently engaged in their individual tasks are intriguing, but are even more amazing for being constructed entirely of paper.  Though his solo show at Chelsea’s Andrew Edlin Gallery was inspired by mankind’s ability to rebuild after natural disasters, here each character experiences a momentous occasion of his or her own.  (Through Oct 26th).

David Jelinek at Andrew Edlin Gallery

For many artists, being offered an exhibition in a Chelsea gallery would feel like winning the lottery.  For his first show at Andrew Edlin’s Chelsea gallery, New York artist David Jelinek takes the daring step of filling the space not with his own creations but with a symbol of hope aroused and then dashed – a scattering of discarded losing lottery tickets strewn on the gallery floor. (Through Aug 17th).
