By Michael O'Sullivan Washington Post Staff Writer Friday, May 2, 2003; Page WE43 "By Michael O'Sullivan, reprinted with permission from the Washington Post"...Painter Kris Kuksi's work, on exhibit at Fraser Gallery under the pretentious moniker "The Within," is masterfully rendered figurative art (Fraser's stock in trade). Ranging from full-color hallucinations inspired by medical illustrations, religious iconography and surrealism to straightforward (if oversize) black-and-white portraiture, Kuksi's images seem contrived to disturb and confront the viewer, which is probably why they don't... KRIS KUKSI: THE WITHIN -- Through May 14 at Fraser Gallery, 1054 31st St. NW. 202-298-6450. www.thefrasergallery.com. Open Tuesday-Friday noon to 3; Saturdays noon to 6.
