Chip Hughes at Kerry Schuss Gallery

Chip Hughes’ meticulously rendered abstract painting, ‘Drinks’, on view at Lower East Side gallery Kerry Schuss, recalls quilting with its grid and wavy lines like piping.  But amoeba-like organic shapes, cool colors and a slick of washed out color suggest watery worlds or blown-up microbiology.  (Through Oct 20th).
