LA artist Annie Lapin conjures images from accidents, pouring a charcoal water solution over a prepared surface and embellishing the results with analogue and digitally created effects that she transcribes to canvas. In ‘Defenestration,’ a few deft additions to the central shape turns a stain into an escaping figure hightailing it out of a raw linen canvas. A metaphor for emerging artistic creativity? (On view at Miles McEnery Gallery in Chelsea through Nov 10th).

Richard Tuttle at Pace Gallery
Richard Tuttle celebrates fifty years of art making with a show of work from his last 26 New York solo shows. ‘Titel 3’ from 1978 typifies Tuttle’s sometimes ephemeral arrangements; a washy drip of brown watercolor on the wall interacts with a crisp, green arch of paper, creating a succinct contrast between chance and deliberate gestures.
