My first stop was the "Supernatural" show at Hang Gallery Annex, which included geometric abstractions by Facundo Arganaraz (below):
On display through February, the show also included angelic deer by Thomas Frongillo (below):
Focused on both animal figures and landscapes elements of natural imagery, the show featured ghostly trees by Ute Zaunbauer (below):
I then crossed the street to the main Hang Gallery, which was opening its Freya Prowe show, "Black Water":
In rich, textured ink pieces, Freya Prowe portrays a watery dreamscape:
Fairies, fish and other sea creatures inhabit and do battle on a monochromatic landscape that bubbles with fairy-tale tension:
Prowe creates her pieces on a variety of surfaces: wood, panel, and zinc among them:
The show will be on display through February:
Finally, I made my way over to Frey Norris Gallery for the opening of Joshua Hagler's "72 Virgins to Die For":
Hagler's powerful paintings and installations explore notions of purity and violence across various settings:
His work suggests a darker truth to the pursuit of purity:
Hagler draws on religious, historical, social and gastronomic references:
The show is on display through February:
