Red Line Gallery will be hosting an Artist Reception & Exhibition featuring works by Atlanta-based artist, Charles Keiger, entitled “Menagerie”.

The word "menagerie" was the trigger for the imagery in Charles Keiger's latest paintings. The concept of a circus has always been intriguing; wild animals, acrobats and clowns all coexisting in an isolated environment, complete with an audience. In some ways this concept is similar to a painting; Take raw materials (skillfully manipulated), confine them to a designated space and defy the laws of nature. The rules of the world do not apply to what happens on a stage or a picture plane. You are shown an alternate reality and maybe, just for an instant, the viewer, through their imagination, is a mental participant in the impossible.

The Artist Reception will be held on Saturday, April 7th from 7-9pm & the show will hang through the end of April.

Red Line Gallery is located at 11519 Kingston Pike, Knoxville, TN 37934 (Campbell Station & Kingston Pike).
