Charles Karubian: Muck!
May 1 – 4, 2024
at Future Fair, Chelsea, NYC Booth R9
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.”
