Robert Zakanych exhibited at Reese Palley last November, and a new artist of singular grace and power seemed to have arrived. Praised as a colorist, Zakanych-a solidly built, Midwestern-looking 36-year-old who actually hails from New Jersey-denies the classification: "People are always trying to tell me I'm a color painter.

Hirsute young men and their long-haired girl friends, identically dressed in blue jeans and peacoats, stroll hand in hand across a snow-covered reach of lawn. Their path is interrupted by bulldozed mud trails, wire fences and spools of cable, the debris of new campus construction...
