Imagine this show as candy for the eye and, for those who quiver at the sight of the surrealist distortion of bodies, queasiness in the stomach. Hiroshima-born Akikazu Iwamoto, now forty, fills his compact solo show at Stux Gallery with wildly imaginative, candy-colored paintings and drawings that involve amusing and sometimes frightening bodily transformations.

Eric Baudart’s new exhibition More at Galerie Valentin is his fourth at the space and presents a comprehensive view of the artist’s ability to skillfully move between materials and forms with calculated whimsy and aplomb.
