Laing abstracts the hot-rod esthetic in paintings on brass and aluminum that hinge and bend to slither up the walls or across the floor. They employ the customized car lingo in their textures: chrome and riots of rainbow "flake" (colored metal chips frozen in sprayed vinyl) finishes. They take the serpentine ripple of flames painted on the sides of racing cars, the flapping forms of the parachutes used to slow giant dragsters. Before Laing's one-man show in Manhattan opened last week at the Richard Feigen Gallery, they also were completely sold...

On a cruise up the Buffalo River last summer, Buffalo Mayor Chester Kowal slid past islands of detergents, pools of grain dust, and a general rainbow of industrial discharge. The stink was overpowering. "Unbelievable! Disgusting!" he concluded...
