'See “Friendship’s Death” at Andrew Rafacz. The show’s title, a reference to the eponymous 1987 experimental sci-fi film, is a curious lodestone for an exhibition alive with sensuous form and pleasurable color. | ✍️ Alan Pocaro'

The show’s title, a reference to the eponymous 1987 experimental sci-fi film, is a curious lodestone for an exhibition alive with sensuous form and pleasurable color.

The show’s title, a reference to the eponymous 1987 experimental sci-fi film, is a curious lodestone for an exhibition alive with sensuous form and pleasurable color.Setting aside that Leandro’s richly woven pieces are maybe more tapestry than painting, all the pictures on view say more about each other than the show’s title ever could. Take Authier’s tumescent fields of rippling painterly form, silvery and seemingly nonobjective.
