Matthew Ronay at Andrea Rosen Gallery

One of Matthew Ronay’s previous shows at Andrea Rosen Gallery involved entering a large, curtain-enclosed space filled with natural forms – trees, totems – that referred to transcendent experiences. In Rosen’s smaller Gallery II space, Ronay showcases his own journey in meditative daily drawings like this one. (In Chelsea through Aug 22nd).

Robert Fontinelli at Feature Inc

Bodies and furniture become one in New York artist Robert Fontinelli’s huge drawings, touching on materialism and how we define our personalities through design choices.  Here in Feature, Inc’s front windows, two men merged with theater seats and each other suggest two identities becoming one.  (On the Lower East Side through Feb 16th).
