WW PickBULLSEYE GALLERY

Jane Bruce's formalist glass works. New York artist Jane Bruce’s Contained Abstraction tackles ideas of art vs. nature with glass—using the vessel as her point of departure. Bruce is not interested in the vessel; she is interested in the idea of a vessel, and so in piece after piece, she starts with jaunty, graphic outlines of a vase, flask and bowl, then switches into meta mode, flattening the timeless forms into thin rhomboid planes that appear 2D from most angles. With their primary colors, the works exude a Platonic formalism tempered only by the skewed, cartoonish outlines of the über-vessels themselves. Side by side, one atop the other, or separated by handlelike dividers, these glass “houses” are anything but cozy. 300 NW 13th Ave., 227-0222., 227-0222. Closes May 17. Map
