“Fables,” a showcase of paintings by Bloomington artist Paul Kane, will begin showing Friday at the Venue Fine Art & Gifts.

A native of Bloomington since 1989, Kane was raised in Boston and has studied art at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts and Yale College as well as IU.

According to a press release, Kane comes from a family of artists. He draws inspiration from folk painter John Kane as well as German wood carvers and sculptors.

The pieces being shown in “Fables” are loosely influenced on traditional stories and fables., including characters from Greek mythology.

Kane’s show will run at the Venue through Oct. 17.
