New joys

“Release” (charcoal and pastel), by Lesley Cohen, in her show “Light Matters,’’ at Bromfield Gallery, Boston, through April 30.

The gallery says:

“This series of drawings serve as a metaphor for the new possibilities of joy that can be received as we re-enter and re-engage with the world outside. The world is generously reopening its magical portal for us in shimmering waves that surprise and delight. The inspirational effects can be almost breathtaking and we can rejoice in finally being able to attend. And as we reemerge, the light enters.  We have plenty to celebrate.  Let the magic begin.’’
