Brooklyn-based artist Laura Burke's last solo show at Chefas Projects centered the artist's interest in fairy tales, imagined through scenes of household objects and natural elements imbued with "subtle magic." (The show's title, Bright Blue His Jacket Is, and His Boots Are Yellow, was a Tom Bombadil quote from The Fellowship of the Ring.) Burke is one of my favorite contemporary artists, due in no small part to her devotion to Scottish folklore and curious, yet somehow perfectly balanced compositions, which evoke a modern Mary Fedden. Expect more of that in The Unseelie Court, which gathers drawings and paintings that delve into the whimsical lives of spirits—which she calls "Gremlins"—inhabiting a realm "between the ether and Earth."
