As repetitive as snow

"Snow Day,'' by Emily Berger, in the group show "Painting Is Not a Good Idea,'' at HallSpace, in the Dorchester section of Boston, through Jan. 7.

The gallery says that this show  "invites viewers… to challenge views about what art should be and how art should be expressed. Guest curator Jo Ann Rothschild selected work from abstract painters Emily Berger, David Fratkin, Colleen Randall and Elizabeth Yamin. Though each artist works abstractly, their works are vastly different. Emily Berger, for her part, notes that the  "paintings and drawings are based on a structure of repetitive and deliberate gesture that is intuitive but carefully considered."
