Charles Fazzino

Charles Fazzino, creator of 3D Pop Art at the end of the seventies, was born in New York in 1955 where he still lives and works. He graduated from the New York School of Visual Art in 1977.

Since nearly 30 years, Charles Fazzino enchants us with his 3-dimensional representation of a coloured, playful and glittering world. This New York artist, creator of the 3D Pop Art, initially threw an amused glance on his city, painting with many details and in a very recognizable style, his districts, inhabitants, taxis and frantic life… With the passing years, he turned to other American, European or Japanese cities.

Sports, the cinema, medicine, are among his favourite themes. After several sketches, his 3D works derives from an original painting from where silk screen prints will be made, then hand-cut and glued in layers.

Charles Fazzino is often referred to as a pop culture historian because of the breadth of his work and the way it touches his collectors and captures the best parts of their contemporary lives. His legacy will mark him as part of the next generation of famous pop art artists as he follows the paths originally forged by pop art pioneers like Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, Red Grooms, and Robert Rauschenberg. He is presented in Paris for fifteen years now.
