The title of Twenty-Two Gallery’s current exhibit, Muertos y Vivos, translates as Dead and Alive. The group show celebrates Hispanic art and the Mexican holiday Dia De Los Muertos (Day of the Dead). The pictured human/skeleton-like painting by Garret Scales is one of the many different works of art featured in the exhibit — its vivid colors and intricate detail reflect on the beauty of both the living and the dead.
Continues through Oct. 30. Free admission. Open Wednesday-Sunday. Twenty-Two Gallery, 1500 Central Ave. 704-334-0122. www.gallerytwentytwo.com.
