As you enter Robert Lange Studios, the sign reads “art belongs to everyone.”
This philosophy permeates through the gallery and is propelled by artists and gallery owners Megan and Robert Lange. The gallery is dedicated to the development of an ongoing dialogue between artists from a diverse range of artistic disciplines at differing levels of their careers.
“The gallery is committed to providing a forum for art based on individuals, subjective style and awareness,” says Megan. “I find that this freedom for expression resonates within Charleston, which has grown to become a magnet for art over the past 15 years. The city is filled with culture and that culture is becoming more innovative and imaginative.”
The RLS Residency program, which invites international and national artists to live in a residency space situated within the gallery, provides a platform for experimentation that gives exposure to diverse and dynamic art practices developing locally, regionally and around the world. Working with the Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art, the Gibbes Museum or Redux Contemporary Art Center by housing visiting artists who are creating exhibits, RLS aims to facilitate creative networks and connect the local art community with the global sphere of contemporary art.
In addition to the gallery’s space on Queen Street, in 2014 RLS expanded to curate the exhibition spaces at The Vendue, Charleston’s art hotel. The hotel’s public areas feature two to three different exhibitions per year, presenting the best in progressive art.
In October Mia Bergeron will present a solo show at RLS of predominately figurative pieces that embrace the “gray areas” of life. Adam Hall’s large-scale landscapes will grace the gallery walls in November, while the year ends with work form Michelle Jader and June Stratton featuring gold leaf and multi-paneled oil on resin pieces.
