Charles Brindley Show

Charles Brindley: Paintings, Drawings, Studies, with over 60 works by well-known Tennessee artist Charles Brindley, opens Friday, April 15 at University School of Nashville’s Christine Slayden Tibbott Gallery.

The public is invited to three receptions: Friday, April 15 from 5:30 until 8:30 and Saturday and Sunday afternoons the 16th and 17th from 1:00 until 4:00.

Brindley’s work, which is representational with abstract elements, depicts old trees, rock formations, landscapes. Three touring exhibitions of his work have traveled to museums and art centers in the Southeast and Midwest. In the fall of 2005, Far Hills: Images of the Tennessee Residence, featuring commissioned drawings and paintings of the Governor’s Residence, will travel throughout the state. In 2006 an exhibit called Trace and Transformation will travel nationally. The Tennessee State Museum held his retrospective show, Landscape Vision, in 1997-1998. Brindley’s work has appeared in galleries in New York and in Washington, D.C., among other cities.

Brindley is donating a portion of the show's sale proceeds to USN. He now teaches his adult art classes at USN, after teaching at Cheekwood for over 20 years.
