ART: Ben Aronson @ Tibor de Nagy

Ben Aronson’s “Urban Currents,” currently on view, is the second installment of his cityscapes at the Tibor de Nagy Gallery. Mr. Aronson’s photo-realistic brushwork is at once detailed and hazy. Anyone who has walked Paris’s labyrinth of charming, narrow streets will likely recognize the intersection captured in “Rising Shadows, Boulevard Saint Germain” (2008). Mr. Aronson “turns a tourist snapshot into an essay on movement and color,” Maureen Mullarkey wrote of the work in the April 10 New York Sun. But it is the artist’s Wall Street scenes that prove especially timely in light of the ongoing economic insecurity there. Mr. Aronson brings certain poignancy to the bankers and traders traversing city streets, a briefcase or folded copy of the Financial Times tucked firmly under their arms. Tuesday–Saturday, 10 a.m.–5:30 p.m.
