words and stuff, 2018
diptych
20 x 32 inches
Charles is restless in his approach to art-making. Following the Jasper Johns adage, "Take an object. Do something to it. Do something else to it," the artist returns to a single painting again and again, working across multiple paintings at a time. As a result, the paintings bleed into each other; a problem arising in one may serve as the solution in another, and vice versa." GLASSTIRE
