Weavings, INK. Art Gallery is pleased to present Character Studies, a solo exhibition of work by Robert Hammer. Please join us on Friday March 8, from 5-9 p.m., for the exhibition opening reception and to meet the artist. All receptions are free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served.

In the exhibition, Hammer introduces us to a diverse cast of characters from ancient deities to anti-heroes. Many of the subjects are caught in a deliberate moment revealing their true nature or struggle. Often they are found in an allegorical scene originating from the calendar or astrology.

Hammer primarily uses pen and ink to illustrate his creations. In some instances, he employs the computer to digitally color his work. Both originals and prints will be on display and available for purchase.

Robert Hammer is a Wrightsville-based artist who graduated from Millersville University in 1981. He is the owner of Hammer Art Studio, where he does graphics work for ad agencies. He is a member of the INKMEN and annually participates in shows with the group. This is his third solo show at Weavings, INK Art Gallery.
