Robert Lange Studios is pleased to announce Horizon Lines, a group exhibition featuring twenty celebrated landscape painters, opening November 7 from 5–8pm in conjunction with the Charleston Gallery Association’s ArtWalk.
The exhibition invites artists to approach one of the most elemental and symbolic compositional devices in art—the horizon line. Each participating painter has created a landscape in which the horizon extends across the entirety of the canvas, unifying the show with a single visual gesture while allowing for endless variation in mood, technique, and place.
“Landscapes hold a kind of quiet poetry,” says exhibiting artist Megan Aline. “The horizon is where the sky meets the earth, where the known meets the unknown. Painting with a continuous horizon challenged me to think about space and distance in a completely new way.”
Gallery owner Robert Lange shares, “What excites me most about this exhibition is its simplicity. By setting one common parameter, we’re able to see just how expansive the idea of a horizon can become in the hands of twenty different artists. Each painting feels like a window, and together they create a sweeping panorama of perspectives.”
Horizon Lines will be on view through November 21, with the opening reception free and open to the public.
Robert Lange adds, “Group shows are always special because we’re asking artists for just one painting, and they know it’s going to be seen alongside their peers. That dynamic inspires them to go above and beyond, to pour something unique and extraordinary into a single canvas. The result is a collection of works that feel like each artist’s very best voice in conversation with the others.”
