Marcus Webber in ‘Painting in Due Time’ at Thomas Erben Gallery

German painter Marcus Webber draws inspiration from odd moments experienced in daily street life; his paintings titled after public places, like ‘N-Platz (Nolli)’ include odd characters like the robed figures with triangular heads who attract a stare from a circular-headed shopper in the foreground.   (In ‘Painting in due time’ at Thomas Erben Gallery in Chelsea through July 28th.)
