Titling his one-night show after an old Kung Fu film, painter Rico Africa presents new paintings about the cult of consumerism, beauty, glamour and death, under a blacklight installation. His works, both large- and small-scale, feature advertising imagery and text, skulls and flowers.

Motor City Brewing Works, 470 W. Canfield, Detroit; 313-832-2700. 7-11 p.m., Wednesday, Nov. 23.
