“Image and Likeness,” a solo exhibition by Fort Collins-based artist Charles Luna

July 17 ­– August 30, 2026, at Niza Knoll Gallery

DENVER, CO — Niza Knoll Gallery is proud to present “Image and Likeness,” a solo art exhibition by Fort Collins-based artist Charles Luna, on view July 17 ­– August 30, 2026, at 915 Santa Fe Drive in Denver. The exhibition brings together two related bodies of work made during different times in the 21st-century, each focusing on the relationships between humanity, technology, and the sacred. The pieces are a compelling array of paintings, digital collage and assemblage works that explore both the connection and visceral tension amongst the subject matter.

The public is invited to an opening reception on Friday, July 17, 5 – 8 p.m., and to an artist reception on Sunday, July 26, 1 – 4 p.m. The show is also on view during First Friday Art Walk on August 7, 5 – 9 p.m., and during regular business hours, Thursday – Sunday, 1 – 4 p.m.

“All the works are products of reflection on the integrated influence of the sacred and the technological in the human narrative.” Explains Luna, “They offer context for considering how these combined influences weave into the design of the 21st-century social tapestry.”

A Colorado native, Luna was born into a family of artists, art patrons and art enthusiasts. He freely developed as a self-taught artist from childhood through adolescence, synthesizing styles and techniques derived from popular media, art, and culture. Luna received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in painting and drawing at the University of Colorado and a Master of Fine Arts in painting at Colorado State University. Luna is an award-winning artist with an extensive history of public exhibition spanning over 30 years. In addition to his personal artistic accomplishments, Charles has facilitated the artistic growth of countless young people through his service as a visual arts educator in Colorado.

Niza Knoll Gallery at 915 Santa Fe Drive specializes in intriguing conceptual exhibits featuring work by local and regional artists as well as private concerts, guest speakers and workshops. Regular gallery hours are Thursday – Sunday, 1 – 4 p.m., except for during the following district-wide art walks: First Friday, 5 – 9 p.m., and Third Friday, 5 – 8 p.m. Visit www.nizaknollgallery.com to view and purchase works online and for the most up-to-date calendar of events.
