Mary Weatherford's Paintings-Another Lightening Bolt on the Art Scene in Bklyn

Brooklyn is a hot spot for art.  The Brooklyn Art Museum has 2 great shows featuring artists Kehinde Wiley & Jean-Michel Basquait.  Make a point of stopping the new Brennan & Griffin art gallery which is presenting Mary Weatherford:  Red Hook.  Weatherford (b. Amer. 1963) is known for her abstract landscape paintings that include thin neon lighting.  Inspired by the topography she inhabits, Weatherford captures the sensibilities of vibrant urban cities such as NYC & LA as well as the vast expanse of seascapes.  The 7 large-scale neon-accented paintings on view capture the tone of NYC's Red Hook Brooklyn neighborhood and the surrounding Hudson.  Together the paintings transpose the time of day from dawn to dusk to evening.  The high-ceilings, brickwalls, open floor space & proximity to NYC's southern point are ideal for experiencing the impact of Weatherford's most recent suite of paintings.  Several of her paintings were included in the recent FOREVER NOW show @ MoMA.  Make this show a destination point.
