Get drenched in color, as this week’s artists apply brights boldly over geometry and planes.

*            *            *

1. Aikaterini Gegisian’s new work is built around the concept and practice of collage or – in a more cinematic sense, the ‘jump-cut’ at Tin Type Gallery
2. Rachel Siporin, a painter for several decades, discovered color reduction woodcuts in 2011. Her latest exhibition investigates personal narratives that include bathers by the shore, singers under the spotlight, and figures against the backdrop of natural disasters at Bowery Gallery
3.Jeffrey Beauchamp is a trickster with prodigious skills and a wry sense of humor. Every painting is an improvisation, the artist surfing the imagination and remaining loose enough to respond to images and impulses that reveal themselves at Seager Gray
4.Through stream-of-consciousness painting, Doze Green creates fractured imagery to convey infinite possibilities at Jonathan Levine Gallery
5.Ricardo Mazal’s paintings evolved from a recent journey to Bhutan. The work draws on previous explorations into themes of life, death, transformation and regeneration at Sundaram Tagore
6.Small is Beautiful challenges contemporary artists working in all media to produce works with a fixed economy of scale, each piece measuring approximately 9 x 7 inches at Flowers Galleries

1. Clint Jukkala’s paintings suggest that seeing and believing are subjective acts without absolutes at BravinLee
2. The work presented in this show—a multidisciplinary approach to painting that combines photography and digital technology—is a culmination of Ricardo Mazal’s near decade-long exploration into themes of life, death, transformation and regeneration at Sundaram Tagore Gallery
3. Perdido Bay in lower Alabama is a constant source of inspiration for Don Estes. The combination of water and sky serve as the foundation of his latest series of paintings at David Lusk Gallery
4. Using l a turn of the 20th century photo portfolio book bought at a flea market on Berlin’s Unter Den Linden as source material,  Will Murray continues his experiments in traditional photographic methods and their eternally renewed relationship to painting at p|m gallery
5. Unregistered City provides insight into the artist’s sociopolitical perspective. In this series, Jiang Pengyi utilizes digital manipulation to place miniature skyscrapers in deconstructed landscapes at Klein Sun Gallery
6. In this body of work, Wafaa Bilal offers meditative and ephemeral moments which address erasure and violence in the aftermath of war at Driscoll Babcock
