Charles Gordon is one of the most exciting young artists in the UK today. Working mainly in oils, Charles' art deals with themes such as Identity, Poverty and Urban Life.
Having completed a Foundation Diploma at Central St Martin's School of Art in the summer of 2010, Charles went on to win the Young Artist prize (under 25) at the age of just 20 years in the prestigious National Open Art Competition, October 2010. He is now a practicing artist living in Hampshire and has done a number of private and commercial commissions.
Charles' work is largely influenced by the time he spent living in London and has progressed from vivid city scenes to more intangible concepts such as identity and conformism. More recently he has been using projections and cellophane to create paintings with double images. His current work is also focused around an old chair. The first of this series was the winner of The Open Art Competition.
