Shara Hughes at Rachel Uffner Gallery

Shara Hughes’ new paintings of lush, psychedelic flowers dominate landscapes so teeming with life it’s almost alarming.  Here, several colorful plants sprout blossoms supported by curvaceous stems resembling cursive script, as if new language was needed to describe this beautifully alien world.  (On view at Rachel Uffner Gallery on the Lower East Side through June 23rd).
