Somerville’s Arts at the Armory is hosting an exhibition by Brad Casler at its ROOTED Café now through April 29.

Casler is a native Bostonian who has spent the majority of his life living in Boston. He is an abstract expressionist artist who draws upon the flavors, smells, sights, and events of his own experiences to assemble an artwork that moves both mind and spirit.

As Casler’s life pivots, so does the texture of how he visualizes his surroundings and the world. As he describes, “this push and pull of my desires allow me to feel the flow of the paints.”

Join in for a reception with the artist on April 15 from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. at Arts at the Armory, 191 Highland Ave, Somerville, MA 02143-1515. Learn more at artsatthearmory.org.
