Don Gray

 Standing isolated on the West Side Highway, hailing a cab or lighting a cigarette, large and sometimes lonely foreground figures, thinly and fluently brushed in oil, assert their humanity as part of, but separate from, the urban environment. Figures and still-lifes are interestingly combined with night-time lower Manhattan vistas glittering beyond apartment windows.

 "The Pedestrian," a pale, auburn-haired girl, vulnerable, poignant and luminous in a yellow blouse against a dark wall, is a striking image, the most painterly, solidly developed form in the exhibition.
