FAZZINO
BIOGRAPHY
For more than 30 years, Charles Fazzino enchants us with his relief representation of a colorful, playful and sparkling universe.
This New York artist, creator of 3D Pop Art, first took an amused look at his city, painting with great detail and in a very recognizable style its neighborhoods, its inhabitants, its taxis, its frenetic life … Over the years years, he will be interested in other American cities then European or Japanese. Sport, cinema, medicine … are also part of his favorite themes. His works are the result of several sketches. They will give birth to a painting from which will be drawn serigraphs cut and glued manually superimposed.
Charles Fazzino’s works are exhibited in some one hundred museums and galleries in more than 20 countries. He has received numerous private and institutional commissions and has been selected as an official festival and event artist, such as the Super Bowl or more recently the London Olympics. Charles Fazzino is often considered a historian of pop culture because of the breadth of his work and the way he has to touch his collectors by capturing the best snapshots of their lives. His legacy will be in the next generation, as did other well-known pop artists such as Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, Red Grooms and Robert Rauschenberg, who are considered pioneers and whose success he is following.
Very attached to the American culture of patronage and mutual aid, Fazzino also supports, through his art, many medical and social causes throughout his country and throughout the world.
Charles Fazzino has been presented in France for more than fifteen years.
