River's Edge Gallery, 3024 Biddle Ave., Wyandotte, presents exhibitions by a diverse trio of artists.
On the mezzanine level are new paintings by Amy Chenier and pieces by found-object sculptor Tim Burke.
Chenier combines highly realistic images of famous people, setting them in abstract alternate realities that reflect their inner life as well as scientific and philosophic principles.
Burke creates his three-dimensional art and sculptures from materials and objects he finds searching through the abandoned ruins of Detroit
On the gallery's third floor is a photographic exhibition, "In Bloom," featuring images by Elaine Redmond.
Redmond's reverse negatives and depictions of nature in various states of "aliveness" give an ethereal look to her images. They are beautiful but a little haunting, and they make her the perfect photographer with whom to welcome spring and to establish the new photographic gallery.
The exhibitions run through May 12.
Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Fridays, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturdays and noon to 4 p.m. Sundays. For more information, call 1-734-246-9880 or visit www.artattheedge.com
