Critics’ Choices

Eleanore Mikus Mikus (1927-2017) had a solid career in New York in the 1960s and beyond, but this is her first solo show on the West Coast. It is revelatory. The terms her wall reliefs in black and white, and her folded paper works call to mind — minimalism, monochrome painting, process art — give way, in time, to a more idiosyncratic vocabulary of sensation, having to do with silence, restraint, fullness and the implication of shadows. Marc Selwyn Fine Art, 9953 S. Santa Moni-

ca Blvd., Beverly Hills. Open Tue.Sat. Ends Sat. (310) 277.9953.

Fay Ray: I Am the House The L.A.based Ray presents dense, dazzling photomontages with strikingly high contrast and also sculptures that join conch shells, marble slabs, and heavy chains. Whatever her medium, Ray exercises a montage sensibility in this mixed bag of a show, constantly shifting material and emotional registers. Sometimes the combinations generate a compelling friction, sometimes a less fruitful incoherence. Shulamit Nazarian, 616 N. La Brea Ave., L.A. Open Tue.-Sat. Ends May 26. (310) 281-0961.
