The Best Art at Frieze New York

[...] The most outward-looking art at the fair, however, is that of Karla Knight, whose paintings at Andrew Edlin are focused on extraterrestrial life and UFOs. In diagrammatic canvases that look like otherworldly computer chips, she writes her own invented language and creates charts and instructions inscrutable to the viewer—not a problem since they’re meant for nonhuman entities. In the lineage both of outsider artists obsessed with aliens and of painters like Hilma af Klint who have looked to communicate the incommunicably spiritual in their work, these sharply detailed pieces are as absorbing as they are mysterious.
