Date: February 9th , 2018
Time : 6pm – 10 pm
Venue Address: 1836 S Broadway Denver, CO
Charles Schriver is a prolific artist best known for his unique street art installations that have popped up all over the world. Charles uses found wood to create distinctive abstract compositions that bring a refreshing perspective to the world of urban guerrilla art. This exhibition will be the first CLS solo gallery showcase and will feature his first complete body of work that is meant to be indoors. Though he is bringing the work from the streets to the white walls, his perspective, style, and craftsmanship he is known for remain clear. We will also be releasing his 2nd, self-published book, “Abstract Curiosity”, in conjunction with the show.

Each sculpture is spontaneously built on site so that it is capable of bringing a smile to the face of a passer-by and so it can stealthily create its own unique story and design.
