NOX CONTEMPORARY UP: Jenevieve Hubbard and Reclaimed Sentiment. Hubbard’s current work is influenced by her childhood experience in a native traditional village in Alaska and the contrast it presents to her current urban existence. Through fingerprint and labrynth imagery, she seeks to explore “obsessive rituals and endless stretches of barren landscapes.” Recent works in this theme range from drawings to paintings to needlepoint.|0| As the counterpoint artist at Nox Contemporary this month, Reclaimed Sentiment explores vegetarianism, sustainability and the concept of art in a decidedly light-hearted fashion. Using only materials found second-hand and offering her works at an affordable price point for the masses, Reclaimed Sentiment thinks of her work as “the New Yorker cartoons of the collage world.”|1| Through December 31.

UMFA UP: LeConte Stewart: Depression Era Art features more than 130 paintings and works on paper from the 1930s (see our review September edition). AND: Final Light: V.

UP: Salt 4: Xaviera Simmons will feature a series of photographs, as well as a sculptural installation made of hand-lettered, locally found wooden scraps affixed directly to the gallery wall.

AND: In the New Genres Gallery, Mirko Martin's Noir documents a night during the artist's half-year stay in Los Angeles in 2008. On a particularly noisy evening, Martin went out to capture some sound. Within minutes, he heard gunshots. Over a black screen, Noir captures these gunshots and conversations with several residents and passers-by who try to make sense of what they heard and didn't hear, saw and didn't see. Through January 21.

HOUSE GALLERY UP: Dave Thomas’ Time Line Series.|7| An intriguing display of colors and shapes, these large-scale paintings straddle the line between control and spontaneous expression. Thomas paints with layers of spray paint, latex house paint and even black tar, letting his materials build up, spill over and congeal into seemingly complete shapes. The amorphous bodies that appear in his paintings are divided into sections, each filled with their own, singular patterns, frequently paraphrasing modern art history. Through December 22.
