Meeker avenue's Real Fine Arts presents 15 shaped-canvas paintings by Brooklyn-based artist Ned Vena. Known for his use of vinyl stencils, Vena explores, in the first set of 10 monochrome canvases, the pure interaction of grid, built-up paint and canvas edge. In the last 5 canvases, however, recycled digital files from Vena's commercial sign-making work settle on the canvas, simultaneously ignoring and defining the edge. The exhibition closes April 21.
