Caney Hummon’s actual daydreams must be pretty wild if they inspire the fantastical vistas in these paintings. Think prog-rock album covers and airbrushed vans, but somehow sweet. From Hummon’s artist’s statement: “The animals forming in the skies of my work represent the oldest and rawest parts of our minds, unrestrained emotions and passions coming forth unbidden, and at times unstoppable.” I’m partial to the grizzly bear descending from the heavens with a school of sockeye salmon at its paws — if only The Avengers had visuals this cool. The Nashville native will be showing 14 of his canvases at LeQuire Gallery through the end of October, and will host an artist’s reception on Sept. 30 from 5 until 8 p.m. LAURA HUTSON HUNTER
