The exhibit features the amusingly appetizing, temptingly tasty, deliciously flavorful theme-based collection by Charles Lang. Working in acrylics, Lang has focused on bananas engaged in their wild, whimsical escapades to create his contemporary, allegorical paintings, marrying his art with word play in his painting titles. The show will surely "appeel" to all ages. A Meet the Artist reception will take place on Thursday, March 11, 5-7pm at the Kensington/Stobart Gallery at the Hawthorne Hotel, on the Common, Salem, MA For more information, please call 978-825-0022. This event is free and open to the public.
