1. Dan Fischer graphite drawings are meticulous transformations of photographs of artists or their signature works of art at Derek Keller
2. Andrew Falkowski presents graphic paintings replete with cross cultural references that pose questions about the state of things and ask “what goes from here?” at Rosamund Felson
3. Samantha Bittman and Gabriel Pionkowski’s range of hand-woven textile paintings, deconstructed canvases, and embroidered work, the artists explore perception, form, and new perspectives in abstraction at Thomas Robertello
4. Patricia Gaeta’s recent work was inspired by architecture, particularly the empty, dilapidated buildings near Gaeta’s hometown of Niagra Falls, New York at Masters Pelavin
5. Karla Wozniak’s oil paintings and works on paper are based on places she visits around the United States, and in particular these new works are inspired by east Tennessee, where Wozniak has lived since 2011 at Gregory Lind Gallery
6. Rob Reger’s art aesthetic is a multi-media mix of surrealism, DIY punk, and pop sensibility resulting in what he calls “elegant absurdity” at 111 Minna Gallery
