Closing this week at Marcas Contemporary Art, "Smoke & Mirrors" (previewed here) highlights largely figurative works and portraits whose subjects appear in a dreamlike state. Generally, "Smoke and Mirrors" refers to where magicians make objects appear or disappear with mirrors amid a distracting burst of smoke. Although there is unity in the approach, this is an exhibition that embraces diversity. As the name suggests, there's an otherworldly, sometimes "magical" quality to the artwork.
