Katharina Wulff at Greene Naftali Gallery

German painter Katharina Wulff depicts the dusty byways of her adopted city of Marrakech in paintings that harness the strong sun to illuminate bodies and the landscape. Inside the peeling façade of this gym, bodybuilders strive for perfection while feral dogs rove outside.  (At Greene Naftali Gallery in Chelsea through Dec 23rd).
