| Charles Nissen paints in a surrealistic
style, and there are influences of classic surrealism throughout his work… yet he is
continually exploring new avenues of expression by way of the ideas he introduces... These
insights into the artist’s mind illustrate that it is not always the most comfortable
place to be! Yet, there are always things I find intriguing and amusing in each of his
paintings, and a smaller group of works that I consider absolutely astonishingly brilliant
works of art… I will let you decide for yourself which are which, and you need not
come to the same conclusions… the realm in which Charles Nissen works is wide open to
infinite layers of interpretation… and while he is continually confronting the viewer
with undeniably stark images, there is a humor in his work that reveals a very keen and
mighty intellect. As someone who has worked with Charles before, I can tell you that he is
an extremely creative, resourceful, and often downright hilarious individual. I feel that
he is just on the threshold of his greatest artistic works, and I am proud to call him my
friend. So, I invite you to take a look at some of this artist’s very personal
expressions, and I am sure you will find some food for your thoughts, and fuel for your
emotions. Enjoy. |
