Rob Ober likes to hold his openings on Sunday afternoon, which is why they have such a leisurely quality. Nobody seems to be rushing off to the next activity, so they linger and spend time studying the art. And Karen LeSage's abstract impressionist canvases only get more interesting and profound the longer you look at them. They're on view until June 11.
