Claire Kerr at BravinLee Programs

The vanishing point has disappeared in Claire Kerr’s small oil on linen seascape, literally gone missing somewhere between sea and sky.  Bringing to mind both the foundational role of the horizon in Western linear perspective and the limits of vision, this small-scale image also contrasts the vastness of the body of water depicted, adding further complication to and pleasure in contemplating landscape. (On view at BravinLee Programs in Chelsea through Nov 27th).

Sarah Bereza in ‘Sitting Still’ at Bravin Lee Programs

Sarah Bereza’s paintings question what a frame is and what it should hold. Alive with natural forms, the borders of her images are sculpture holding melting forms or, like here, conventional images that surprisingly appear to resist completion, morphing before our eyes. (On view at Bravin Lee Programs in Chelsea through Nov 29th).
