Alleys around St. Petersburg artist's home inspire new work

New work by Steven Kinny debuts Saturday at ARTicles Art Gallery, 1445 Central Ave., St. Petersburg with a free reception at 6 p.m. "Invasive Species" is a departure from his past content, which featured portraits full of symbols both surreal and mystical, rendered in exquisite Old Master technique. The alleys of his new home in St. Petersburg have inspired this series and, in their way, have an air of mystery, too. articlesstpete.com. It's part of the Second Saturday Gallery Walk in and around downtown St. Petersburg. Go to artwalkstpete.com for a list of all galleries.
