Helen Miranda Wilson

Helen Miranda Wilson of Wellfleet has a breezy exhibit “Halos” at Victoria Munroe Fine Art in Boston of loose, lite, fun gouaches that resemble cockeyed targets or the blurred motion of spinning wheels. “Antigua” is a rainbow oval on mottled green. “Phoenix” is a spiraling cartoony galaxy with a red and yellow eye at the center. “Thali” features ovals eyeing you menacingly. Their charm comes from their sunny, candy colors and their wobbly handmadeness.

Helen Miranda Wilson, “Halos,” Victoria Munroe Fine Art, 179 Newbury St., Boston, May 14 to June 20, 2009.
