Charles Dwyer Jr., known for his unique abstract to figurative techniques, has selected Cherry Creek North's GALLERY M for his solo exhibition for 2008, A Call To Vera.

Dwyer will be at GALLERY M where his works will be displayed at a special champagne reception on March 7th and then the next day he will be at the gallery as well. The opening on Friday is from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. and is open to the public. The show runs through May 31st.

In addition to his fine oils, pastels and variations, Dwyer will debut his photo-etching series, A Call to Vera. The technique he uses for these works, merges his mastery of traditional techniques and materials with his inspirations from modern developments in fine art. His works are recognized for their unique materials, bohemian style and pop influences.

A Milwaukee native, Dwyer's skills have allowed him to travel internationally for special assignments. The esteemed Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City relies on his unique restoration and antique techniques to maintain the hotel's priceless interiors, room ceilings and decor. In 1993, Dwyer was one of a few to be represented by the Playboy Fine Art Group (an entity responsible for nurturing and popularizing such artists as Alberto Vargas, Andy Warhol, LeRoy Neiman and Patrick Nagel). A 1984 graduate Milwaukee's School of Art and Design, he has received international acclaim for his work and early in his career was selected as the 1st official artist for Chicago's ArtExpo in 1993. Dwyer's works are exhibited in museums and galleries internationally and are included in numerous private collections. Dwyer selected Denver because of the city's reputation for art enthusiasts and chose GALLERY M due to its history and reputation with photographers and fine artists.

Those interested in attending the reception on March 7 are encouraged to RSVP at 303-331-8400 or gallerym.com. GALLERY M is located at 2830 E. Third Ave. (between Fillmore and Detroit). Select works can be viewed at gallerym.com.
