Paintings by Charles Marburg |

"I find inspiration all over the place, but most of the time it's a matter of working everyday and responding to what's there from yesterday's work."
Each group of paintings takes 3-4 months to complete, and then he's ready to start on a new batch. Sometimes these works evolve into their own distinct set of ideas, generating an entirely new series of paintings.

Charles Marburg works out each of his ideas through a series of canvas. He paints multiple pieces simultaneously, creating a variety of perspectives to explore myriad facets of the subject matter. Ideas often force him to push the limits of his paintings and to seek out new materials and techniques.
