Twenty-six vividly colored new watercolors by Gladys Nilsson lining the walls of Garth Greenan Gallery are an intense dose of visual pleasure and irreverent fun. In this piece titled ‘Wheee,’ Nilsson tones down her focus on the body parts we tend to keep private (with the exception of a prominent derrière), instead featuring a large figure in jester-like clothes who dangles from a fleshy-pink tree branch. From on high, the individual above makes eye contact with a similarly boneless-looking character below, each as curious about each other as they are to us. (On view in Chelsea through Dec 17th).
