This week’s artists keep it bright, with crisp lines and a lot of pop.

1. “The process involved in making [these paintings] is that of drawing and redrawing an image until only the most essential pieces are left.” at Joshua Liner Gallery
2. Richard Colman’s Faces, Figures, Places, & Things at Chandra Gallery
3. In Chromatic Aporias Rafael Lopez-Ramos includes realistic renderings of tropical fruits paraphrasing the gaze of colonial Art; the syncretism of Afro-Cuban religious symbols and Catholic images; and the Revolution’s propaganda iconography. Now he adds typical Americana popular culture characters, & esoteric symbols related to the American political tradition at Museum of Contemporary Art North Miami
4. Steven Harrington’s “Wavy Days” will feature 16 newly hand-painted canvases, 15 graphite drawings, 2 new sculptural works, and an exclusive screen-printed exhibition poster. The paintings present a brand new body of work that has never been exhibited, or shown within a gallery space at Colette
5. “Barbara Rossi: Poor Traits” presents a selection of Barbara Rossi’s enigmatic graphite and colored pencil drawings from the late 1960s and her meticulously rendered reverse paintings on Plexiglas from the early 1970’s at New Museum
6. The World Goes Pop will reveal how pop was never just a celebration of western consumer culture, but was often a subversive international language of protest – a language that is more relevant today than ever.at Tate Modern
