This week’s artists contemplate nature and cycles of change.

1. An exhibition deriving inspiration from the seasons themed paintings in the Frick Collection by François Boucher; artists are invited to create four paintings of the same size to commemorate each one of the seasons at Haven Art Gallery
2. Multiplicity examines our individual and cultural environments through the use of archetypal and reflective imagery. The artists create multiples as a way to reflect on our psychological, natural and societal predicaments.  The use of archetypal imagery varies widely in this show from cultural constructs to the mythological, and the symbolic, encompassing individual as well as collective psychological landscapes at Dacia Gallery
3. Highlights features portraits of individuals from the Nathaniel Mary Quinn’s past, who, through various means, were able to make it out of the notorious Robert Taylor Homes public housing project. These compositions give shape to Quinn’s memories, the figures from his past finding their way from the subconscious to the paper. In their abstracted bodies and faces, Quinn’s personal narrative transforms into a wider exploration on the resiliency of human nature at M + B Art
4. Nina Yuen’s two new films and a series of photographs poetically and intimately explore universal themes of time, death, and beauty at Jane Lombard Gallery
5. Amandalynn intends to capture the beauty of nature’s cyclical change within this newest series of work at Distinction Art
6. For Mountain Full, Andrew Hem was inspired by the action of leaping, depicting many of his stylized subjects hovering or plummeting over expressionistic landscapes. Like snapshots taken from a dream, his surreal figures and environments retain familiar elements but are otherworldly, existing one step outside of everyday life at Jonathan LeVine Gallery
