Titled ‘Devotional Flowers,’ Mimi Lauter’s show of soft pastel and oil pastel blooms at Derek Eller Gallery suggests mystical experience as a sunflower morphs into a blazing sun and landscape. Critics have praised the young LA artist’s work as ‘enthralling’ and ‘rapturous.’ Today and tomorrow are the final days to test for yourself the transcendent power of Lauter’s petals. (On view on the Lower East Side through March 18th).
