Rail Walk artist reception Friday for Kahrs exhibit
Rail Walk Studios & Gallery introduces new and recent acrylic paintings by Keyth Kahrs in an exhibit titled “Designs in Nature.”
Kahrs has narrowed his vision to create close-up imagery of natural subject matter, observing in detail repetitious shapes and organic patterns, depicting nature in abstract form and creating a non-distinct focal point.
To those who are familiar with Kahrs’ paintings, familiar elements emerge. Kahrs utilizes a cool color palette and often features water in some aspect. Occasionally one will find a creature in the scene, a new feature in Keyth’s paintings, his effort to add a living subject other than the usual flora and fauna.
The artist’s reception on Friday, Oct 6, from 4:30 – 6 p.m.,is free and open to the public.
Regular gallery hours are Thursday-Saturday 11 a.m.-4 p.m.
