‘Rest During The Flight Into Egypt’ broaches the subject of migration in Romanian artist Adrian Ghenie’s latest solo show at Pace Gallery in Chelsea. Here, two kids wait on a railroad track in front of a heaving, blood-red landscape wearing masks that disguise their faces but not the damage inflicted upon them. (On view through Feb 18th).

Victor Man at Barbara Gladstone
Celebrated Romanian painter Victor Man is known for courting the unknowable in his paintings, creating a sense of mystery. In this painting, the oddness is profound. Abstract hair meets meticulous realism on the face, a youthful face contrasts a mature neck and the third eye keeps things in constant movement. (At Chelsea’s Barbara Gladstone Gallery through April 18th).
Victor Man, Grafting/or Lermontov Dansant Come Saint Sebastien, oil on wood, 8 ½ x 6 3/8 inches, 2014.
