About

Charlie Duck works with printmaking, painting, sculpture and ceramics to explore painting and its expanded field.

His work combines references from art history and personal narratives, responding to multi-layered histories and temporalities to draw connections between disparate sources. He is interested in the webs of meaning that can be brought into being through exploratory and speculative thinking and making.
