"Garden II" (Flowers Come and Go) by Michael Abraham
“Garden variety” is not the way you’d describe Vancouverite Michael Abraham’s oil paintings. His super-saturated, expressionistic works straddle the line between real and surreal (“Garden II [Flowers Come and Go],” pictured), making them truly one of a kind. See Abraham’s larger-than-life characters in Inspiritus at Gallery Jones Fine Arts (Oct. 5 to 29).—Kristina Urquhart
