'Habitue'

A native of Vietnam, Minneapolis painter Teo Nguyen says of his new show at Burnet: "As an immigrant and an artist, I have learned to embrace the American spirit of freedom that says if you see a road that interests you, go ahead: venture down it," he says. This makes sense, considering that many of his paintings are of landscapes that can only be found by driving down a random road, somewhere in Minnesota. (11 a.m.-5 p.m. Tue.-Sat. Ends Jan. 13.
