Galleries: Photographers reveal what's in a face - and in their heads

One never loses sight of the photographer's imprint on portraiture in this show, though, and it's fun to see some of the gallery's accomplished regulars, among them Paul Cava, Edward Dimsdale, David Graham, Yuichi Hibi, Henry Horenstein, and Liz Rideal - none of them portraitists in the strict sense - included in the mix.

This/that

LGTripp's loyalties to both geometric and expressionistic abstraction are still divided down the middle. That is why a painter such as P. Timothy Gierschick - who makes quirky, intimately scaled geometric compositions of vaguely organic forms (some now incorporating found vintage medical prescriptions as collage elements) - can coexist in a show with Anthony Vega, whose large, hyperactive paintings blending abstraction and emblematic images, such as an immense high-heel shoe, muse on such opposites as poverty and wealth, even using diagrams of slave ships as a organizing principle in one canvas.

Madeline Adams' two large paintings of concentric colored lines that seem to be moving in wave formations are standouts in this show, too, as are Mike Hale's gray-and-white (and sometimes pale blue) evocations of rural landscapes and farming machinery, and Linda Hess Conklin's watercolor paintings of complex patterns composed of two letters.
