Julia Dault at Marianne Boesky Gallery

Titled ‘Marker’s Mark,’ Julia Dault’s solo debut at Chelsea’s Marianne Boesky Gallery is all about process. One of her signature sculptures, created by bundling together rolled pieces of Formica and Plexiglas reflects a huge painting in gorgeous pastel hues, marked with a brayer roller in a creative mix of hand-made and mechanical processes. (Through March 21st).

Whale-lovers beware at Barnaby Furnas’ latest solo show at Marianne Boesky Gallery in Chelsea – riffing on Herman Melville’s ‘Moby Dick’ and Jonah’s cetacean misadventure, Furnas’s new paintings picture whalers in total, gory triumph.  Inspired by the fact that whale oil provided light for lamps, Furnas bathes a tattered Jonah in celestial light as he reaches shore, prepared to follow a new path.  (Through Dec 21st).
