Opens Mar 29, 6-8p: "_ S E C R E T . H I S T O R Y"  Serban Ionescu Bridge Gallery, 98 Orchard St., NYC Serban Ionescu‘s pictorial inventions straddle the space between comedy, tragedy, bazaar and romanticism. A hybridization of classical and contemporary influence, the work demonstrates a distinctive style. Ionescu’s vision of Romanian folklore, alchemy and mythology mixed with reverberations of early childhood under Ceausescu’s Romania. A crossroads for the supernaturally tinged parts commingled with popular culture: hammer horror in one direction, utopian dreams that never were, in another, sinister resonances, uncanny dissonances and the world beyond. Serban Ionescu’s unique new works make the world seem exuberant. Ionescu’s paintings, drawings and sculptures contain quirky, amusing imagery along with a painterly abstraction.  In the midst of our time when purposeful intent is frequently considered dead, or if not dead then at least a failure at communicating anything of importance to society, works like Ionescu’s remind everyone about the vitality art can have in the service of an individualistic vision. - thru May 7

Continues thru Mar 15: "Iteration"  Gerri Davis Bridge Gallery, 98 Orchard St., NYC (bt Delancey & Broome) Gerri Davis manages to balance a series of dichotomies, high art and popular culture; stylization and subjectivity, realism and fiction, discomforting imagery and visual pleasure, while capturing the viewer’s imagination through dramatic brushwork, and richly modulated surfaces.
