• Gallerywise Being Scene

Meyer-Munson Gallery, 225 Canyon Road, 983-1657 Call it magic realism, fantastic realism, or neo-surrealism; you're still describing work by Vachagan Narazyan. Born in 1957 in Kislovodsk, Russia, the artist grew up with his grandparents after his parents died; he still remembers the excitement he felt when the circus came to their town. Those mental carnival images strongly figure in his latest work, which shows at Meyer-Munson Gallery through Dec. 9; an opening reception takes place from 5 to 7 p.m. today, Nov. 25.
