Noteworthy Abstraction

Avner Ben-Gal
, Bortolami Dayan Gallery, 510 West 25th St. to Oct 14

Albeit figurative paintings, this designation for Avner Ben-Gal�s paintings just barely holds up.  Yes, you recognize the various forms as people, objects and interiors but Ben-Gal�s real subject matter is simply, somber weighted emotion and those indefinable regions of the mind our dreams occupy.  These pieces are magnificently painted combining simplicity of form with the sophistication of subtle, removed color and paint handling.
