"New Works on Paper"

It's true that these dense, jammed-with-color abstract paintings scream Flower Power (and that iconic, rounded-petal blossom recurs from image to image), and maybe what we need right now is a little more of that joyful energy from the sixties that inspired these works. Psychedelic, urban, euphoric and wild, these works of ink, acrylic, watercolor and gouache on handmade abaca paper could provide a distraction to get your mind off of, well, anything.

BravinLee, 526 W. 26th St., Suite 211, (212) 462-4404. Opening reception February 20, 6-8 p.m. Through March 21.
