(San Francisco, CA) July, 2008 - "Shamanic Inspirations," a solo installation by emerging artist Charles Kruger, will be presented at The Marsh Theater Cafe/Gallery, 1070 Valencia Street, from July 15 through August 31. An artist's reception will be held on Wednesday, July 23, from 6 to 8 p.m.
Mr. Kruger, an oblate of Incarnation Benedictine Monastery in Berkeley, utilizes shamanic practice and meditation in creating both large and small canvasses depicting interior landscapes and spirit helpers. He is a schoolteacher, actor and published poet who began painting shortly after his 50th birthday and has since created a dynamic body of work in an expressionistic style. He is a member of The Art Explosion studios where he has participated in Open Studios for the past two years. "Shamanic Inspirations" is his first solo show.
The Marsh Theater Cafe/Gallery/Performance Space (http://www.themarsh.org/cafe.html), a breeding ground for new performance, is one of San Francisco's premiere performance venues, active in its current home since 1992. The Marsh currently includes two theaters, a comedy club, a cafe/gallery and a youth theater.
