"Chaos'' (oils and oil sticks), by Julie Gorn, in her show "Color: Chaos and Harmony,'' at the Colo Colo Gallery, New Bedford, through Oct. 26. 

Our world is hectic and mesmerizing, beautiful and noisy. Ms. Gorn responds to these contradictions with work whose colors calm  viewers even as they evoke the busy pace of modern life.
