James Kalm visits two New York shows: Alex Katz at Gavin Brown's Enterprise (through June 19) and Meghan Brady & Gideon Bok: Colors and the Kids at Steven Harvey Fine Art Projects (through May 22).
Kalm notes that [Katz's] "drawings are all from the last couple of years and feature studies of friends and family. ... While Bok renders obsessively detailed interiors in expressively rich textural oil paint, Meghan Brady creates coloristic studies with a complex layering of hues in graphic designs that recall classic modernist motifs and patchwork quilts."
