We gave Charles a month and he made us 32 paintings to take to the fair, with just a couple days to dry, hot off the presses!
Of his work, Charles says, “I paint because I have to. I express messiness through mess, finding truth in the muck, and sharing it as I find it, without wiping it clean. I paint contemplatively, using figuration and abstraction, light and scale as an extension of my thoughts. I’m fascinated by the ever-varied nature of desire, its relationship to notions of power, and the inevitability of change, loss and finality in the human drama I see on the street, on the page, on my phone, or just looking into my own face in the morning. I read the news, study history, and ponder fate, irony and coincidence. Muck.”
Charles Karubian was born in 1969 in Los Angeles, California, where he continues to live and work. He paints figuratively in oils. Charles has exhibited in solo and group exhibitions, with the Black Dragon Society, Hayworth Gallery, Rental Gallery, Suzie Q Projects/Bob Van Orsouw, Aliceday Gallery, Martin Browne Fine Arts and with the Parker Jones Gallery. Charles received his BFA from the San Francisco Art Institute in 1993 and his MFA from UCLA in 1997. Charles says, “I’m only as good as my next painting.”
Also in our booth at the Future Fair: “Flatfiles in a Briefcase!” Never one to let an opportunity pass us by, we’re also bringing works on paper by several of today’s most exciting artists in an aluminum briefcase (handcuffed to our wrist for security).
