Derived from the theme of decay, Charlie's paintings are uncompromising in many ways.
A current year 12 student Charlie's work challenges the viewer with faces which glare directly from the page. Behind the features the expressions are edgy and menacing, bringing us to question the mental state of of the people he portrays.
This A2 painting in acrylics developed over just a few days.
These photographs show pages from Charlie's sketchbook. An inspiring artist will often be a catalyst to explore a theme or media. The first page shows studies drawn from the work of Lee Jeffries whose style in terms of composition and texture goes on to influence Charlie's own self portraits.
The pictures are very realistic.
