Kelley Johnson at Freight and Volume Gallery

Miami-based artist Kelley Johnson’s latest solo show opens with 2-D paintings and advances to artworks that literally fly off the wall thanks to PVC rods zinging outward. This piece, titled ‘Wall Kite,’ is grounded at the moment, but appears to be ready to launch upward. (On view at Freight and Volume Gallery on the Lower East Side through Feb 4th).
