In AS220’s Main Gallery (115 Empire St), Hannah Antal- ek shows splashy pink paintings about girlhood, from her own six-year-old princess birthday party to Girl Scouting to her high school cheerleader sister. Antalek’s exuberant style recalls Kerry James Marshall in her mix of social real- ism with drips, layering, and other brushwork pyrotech- nics. Some choices feel strange — like leaving parts of fac- es unpainted for a masklike effect — but mostly Antalek’s moves are right on. Also in the Main Gallery, Maria DiFranco offers pencil drawings on wood panels of a donkey running from a tornado and toward a windmill; a bull and lamb between high-tension wires and oil derricks; and a steer and wild dog between houses and a zeppelin. DiFranco’s symbol- ism is muddy, but her vividly dark realist draftsmanship ^ radiates an ominous mood. WIRed roelle’s How To Enjoy Lawn Care.
