During the month of April, the Randolph Arts Guild will be hosting an exhibition by Raleigh artist Luke Miller Buchanan.

The exhibit will open Tuesday, April 3, with a reception from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. and will be on display in the Guild's Sara Smith Self Gallery in downtown Asheboro until April 24.

Luke Miller Buchanan is a 2002 graduate of North Carolina State University College of Design and currently teaches painting and drawing at Peace College.

Buchanan exhibits extensively in the Raleigh area and throughout the state. He was recently featured in 2010 New American Paintings Issue No. 88.

Buchanan says his work is based "on the spiritual residue and shared memories that are left behind by the built symbols of our presence on Earth."

His work is often defined by telephone poles, railroad tracks, stairways and buildings, shared across generations.

"I am interested in what is remembered and forgotten as these symbols occupy the spaces we create and the spaces in between that we have created unintentionally," he says.

"Thousands of people walk by and through these spaces, each an individual with their own experience."

The exhibit will be on display in the Sara Smith Self Gallery at the Randolph Arts Guild, located at 123 Sunset Ave., Asheboro, through April 24. Admission is free.
