Charles Munch – Balancing: September 19 – November 2, 2025
Charles Munch uses vibrant colors and bold lines to convey the essential elements within his oil paintings, offering an enigmatic reflection on humanity’s place within the natural world. The work simultaneously celebrates the splendor found in nature and sets up a tension between humans and animals. His current exhibition, titled Balancing, reflects his journey as he confronts the realities of aging. Munch senses a shift in his artistic style, a transition from luminous landscapes to a darker palette and more opaque layers. Focusing on the glowing colors found at twilight, these works contemplate challenges and hope. “In the daylight, we may be able to cobble together a precarious structure of humans and animals that, if steadily renewed, will allow us to maintain balanced lives in this bright, dark world.” – Munch
