Tunji Adeniyi-Jones at Nicelle Beauchene Gallery

At just smaller than 30 x 23 inches, Tunji Adeniyi-Jones’ new lithographs in the entry space of Nicelle Beauchene Gallery are smaller than the artist’s vibrant, pattern-driven paintings in the main space, but more intense and rewarding.  Powered by the motion of the curving, androgynous bodies that contort to fit into the picture’s confined space, each print conveys the energy and rhythms of dance.  (On view in Tribeca through Nov 23rd).
