Semi-abstracted floral scenes by the Los Angeles-based artist Daniel Gibson seem to depict a world coming apart, with melting skies, lavender flames and no clear way of knowing which way is up. Compare them to the paintings of Fernanda Galvāo at Lyles & King (P14), whose similarly sinuous landscapes in darker, drier colors suggest a moment just slightly further into the apocalypse than Gibson’s.
