“Islands I Make Believe”

Islands are the thematic tie that binds the 25 paintings in Nathan Durfee’s newest exhibit of pop surreal artwork. All are “self-contained vignettes cut out from my wandering mind,” notes the artist. “Although they touch on subjects both societal and personal, it’s put through a surreal filter, much like our brain does when we dream.” Discuss the pieces with Durfee at the December 1 opening reception from 5 to 8 p.m. Robert Lange Studios, 2 Queen St. Daily, 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Free.
