Though faces may not be perfectly clear in the paintings at RedSky Gallery’s latest exhibition, Dimeji Onafuwa: The Significant Line, they still seem to be looking back, and expressing themselves, on a personal sort of level through the bold colors that caress the canvas where they reside. A Nigerian native who now resides in the Q.C., artist Dimeji Onafuwa’s paintings feel more like snapshots, as they reflect on the melancholy of assimilation. Continues through Nov. 12. RedSky Gallery (Dilworth location), 1244 East Blvd. 704-377-6400. www.redskygallery.com.
