As Pop art burst onto the US art scene in the early 60s, Austrian artist Kiki Kogelnik moved to New York and forged her own related path, imagining humans as robots, bombs as sculpture and later, models as aliens. In this painting from 1979, Kogelnik morphed the fashion-forward woman of the day into a creature with glowing eyes and stylish garments, hair and skin in reptilian green tones. Set against floating triangles, the women are as abstract as their backgrounds and ready to defy convention. (On view at Mitchell-Innes & Nash in Chelsea through June 29th). Kiki Kogelnik, City, oil and acrylic on canvas, 98 5/8 x 63 1/8 inches, 1979.

Dominated by dominoes and colorful concentric circles with a cent sign at the middle, this painting by Mission School artist Chris Johanson suggests that life is a game, with cents and/or sense at the center. Scenes from everyday life – a bedroom, a suburban storefront – look like they could easily disintegrate into the surrounding abstraction at any moment. (At Mitchell-Innes and Nash in Chelsea through May 13th). Chris Johanson, Dominoes and Impermanence with Love , acrylic on found wood, 64 ¼ x 73 ½ x 4 inches, 2015.
