‘Matthew Wong: Blue’ at Karma gallery. Matthew Wong was “one of the most talented painters of his generation,” Roberta Smith wrote in her review of this posthumous show. (The 35-year-old artist died this fall before the exhibition opened.) Wong’s paintings of nocturnal landscapes and interiors “explore the infinite tones, moods and luminosities of the color blue,” and reveal a “visionary fusion of form and feeling,” Smith wrote. Free.

‘The Bong Show’ opens at Film at Lincoln Center. Bong Joon Ho’s “Parasite” was one of the best films of 2019, but it’s just the latest in the South Korean filmmaker’s strong body of works, most of which comment on humanity (or the lack of it) in some manner. “He combines showmanship with social awareness in a way that re-energizes the faded but nonetheless durable democratic promise of movies,” A.O. Scott wrote about the filmmaker. Most of his films are available on streaming platforms, but all of his films will be screened as part of this retrospective. From Jan. 7-14; filmlinc.org.
