"An Unexpected Journey" Exhibit by Todd Bergert

Plant Riverside District’s Grand Bohemian Gallery will feature oil paintings by Canton, Ohio artist Todd Bergert from April 29 through May 31. A self-taught artist, Bergert utilizes the Flemish Technique, a method of oil painting favored by Johannes Vermeer and other legendary artists that begins with a detailed pencil drawing followed by the meticulous application of layers of thin coats of paint. The result is a single painting with vibrant colors, a glossy appearance and subjects that look remarkably life-like. The exhibit is free and open to the public. The gallery is open Tuesday through Sunday from 10 a.m.-7 p.m.
