Leslie Wayne paints coastlines and icebergs as if seen from a plane, so the pictures read first as luscious abstractions and then as maps of what rising seas are taking. Shown on an island in New York Harbor, the climate message lands with the water right outside. Make it part of a ferry day on the island before the show closes this weekend.
What to expect
Expect an upper gallery of aerial landscape paintings inside LMCC's Arts Center, where coastlines and icebergs dissolve into brushy abstraction up close. Other free exhibitions and programs run in the building, and the island's lawns and harbor views are steps away.
