UNVEILING THE AMAZING ART OF CHARLES FAZZINO THE MASTER OF 3D POP ART

20


Born in 1955, Charles Fazzino is the son of a Finnish sculptor (Irene) and an Italian mode shoe designer (Salvatore). He took his first formal art class as a 7th grader in 1967 and had his first solo art exhibition at Pelham High School in 1968. He often accompanied his mother to the arts and crafts shows in which she exhibited and in 1971, he put up his own display at the Bedford Hills Outdoor Arts Show, the first time he exhibited for the general public.

culture back to his audience, reminding them of who they are, where they come from, and what moves them as human beings. He once wrote "...all of my art is a labor of love for all of you who have enjoyed my work for so long. When we're all gone and many years have passed, I hope that our descendants will look at one of my paintings and say 'that's a Fazzino. He was that artist who painted those zany pictures of what life was really like back then.

He attended the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan and graduated with his bachelor of arts in 1977. Today, his unique, three-dimensional fine art prints and originals are sold and exhibited in hundreds of galleries and museums in more than twenty different countries around the world. He has been commissioned to create artwork for high profile events such as The Super Bowl, The GRAMMY Awards, The Pori Jazz Festival, Major League Baseball All-Star Game, Daytime Emmy Awards, and more.

Charles Fazzino is most well-known for the threedimensionality of his limited edition silkscreen serigraphs.

Sometimes referred to as a pop culture historian, Fazzino has stated on numerous occasions and in many ways that his intent as an artist is to create a body of work that reflects the highlights of popular

In 1980, while exhibiting in the juried arts fairs in Florida, Charles Fazzino attended a 3-D paper tole class in an arts supply store. He experimented with the technique and showed his first threedimensional print at the Greenwich Village Art Show in New York City in May, 1980. Fazzino entered the gallery circuit when he sold his first 3-D offset lithographs to a gallery in Michigan. He began using the silkscreen printing process in 1986.

Fazzino began his meteoric ascent into the art world as a street artist in the late 70′s by exhibiting and selling his oversized acrylic paintings. Collectors and dealers immediately recognized his talent and potential and began purchasing his artwork faster than he could paint…He soon began to produce limited editions–serigraphs from his originals–and has received the highest acclaim for the process he uses to create them. Each piece in his limited editions are hand-cut, glued and glittered, a time consuming and painstaking process which maintains the highest artistic standards and, ensures that each piece of every edition is truly one of a kind…a bonus and creative genius which sets Fazzino apart from his peers.
