Local artist David Charriere’s portraits are characterized by an expressive depth. His impressionist brush strokes and classic palette combine to echo the style and composition of such painters as Berthe Morisot and Édouard Manet.
Charriere teaches open studio portrait classes from 9:30 a.m. to 12:20 p.m. Tuesday at Atelier de Charriere, 220C South Allen St., and at the Art Alliance of Central Pennsylvania.
A student of Philadelphia’s Studio Incamminanti and the Putney Painters of Vermont, Charriere brings heart and sophistication to his work, as illustrated in one of his favorite quotes from Pablo Picasso: “Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.”
The exhibit is free and open to the public.
Charriere’s portraits have received national acclaim. He teaches open studio portrait classes every Tuesday.
