Titled "The Closet" (2006–07), the series pulls a nail-biting scene from John Carpenter's 1978 classic "Halloween," in which a young woman played by Jamie Lee Curtis unsuccessfully hides from a killer. Alvarez’s carefully executed works on paper make an unforgettable impression amid all the painting and installation work on view in Chelsea right now. D-L Alvarez, "The Closet (4 & 5)" (2006–07)
