Triner explained the exhibition in a news release from Cyrus.
"We have all found ourselves looking for 'detours' during the last 2 1/2 years," he wrote. "Ways to pass time; ways to stay safe; ways to calm our anxieties; and maybe even ways to escape.
"My detours found me traveling near and far to appreciate simplicity, solitude and a bit more of myself."
Friday's opening reception is 6 to 9:30 p.m. at Cyrus, 2645 Cleveland Ave. NW. The exhibition continues through Oct. 31.
Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, although Cyrus is closed the first Saturday of the month. The gallery is closed on Sundays.
During the reception, Triner will raffle off a print of his mural on the side of the Cultural Center for the Arts in downtown Canton. Proceeds of the raffle will benefit the Stark County Hunger Task Force.
