Local portraitist Kris Knight describes his latest show as a “homo-romantic Halloween series.” These works depict epicene young men in fields and forests who have, according to Knight’s narrative, retreated from small towns to engage in clandestine gay dating rituals. The mood is stirringly chaste; Knight’s boys are fatigued because, one presumes, they’re looking for love and not necessarily sex, at least not exclusively. The subjects’ relatively uniform physiognomy suggests both beatific suffering and come-hither coyness; their saintliness seems built on their alleged transgressions. Artwork $400–$5,000.—David Balzer
