Profile
“The dramatic tonal range of blacks both obscures and reveals anthropomorphic objects that are brought to life as improbable archetypal beings that provoke a sense of wonder, fear, suffering, and strangeness.”
Assemblage
Charity uses multiple media and techniques to create a single portrait. “This figure is formed of several sections, some of which are colored, some monochromatic, some detailed, some blurred. This approach suggests a multifaceted psychology of self which is not easily simplified.”
Bildungsroman
“I use graphics and content from the computer game Minecraft as source material. This work explores the many places where Minecraft exploration and real-life exploration, including parenting, overlap visually, emotionally, and structurally.”
In Conclusion
“The socially aware figures originate from the study of cadavers in biology labs, insects in university entomology museums, and local herd animals in paddock enclosures. Some issues explored are ideas of self-image, social indifference, and reactions to being watched.”
Outpost
Andrew Fish, “Outpost”: “I seek a painterly aesthetic but mimic photographic visual language through calligraphic mark making.”
On view now at Hillyer for the month of October!
