About the Item
Charles Birnbaum is a sculptor and a self-taught photographer. He graduated from Kansas City Art Institute where he studied ceramics and was among a select group of the esteemed Ken Ferguson’s “ceramic stars.”
Charles’s early work questioned the cultural premises and constraints of “craft” by producing postmodern interpretations of ancient European and Asian forms.
After doing graduate work at Tyler School of Art, he began sealing, altering, and re-contextualizing vessel forms and then began creating abstract porcelain sculptures.
Birnbaum's sculptures have a distinctly primordial origin, evoking the Baroque, but in a wilder more animal way. His art is centered on forms and symbols that draw inspiration from Carl Jung’s animistic archetypes specifically Anima or feminine side. His intention is to challenge people’s predicable classifications, making them “work” to question and expand their unconscious responses.
The dead bone-white surfaces and the patterns undulate across the organic forms accentuating tension, creating visual and tactile dissonances that invite the viewers to engage actively with the work.
Birnbaum lives and works in New York City.
He has been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions throughout the U.S. and abroad and they are in multiple private collections, including those of the design world luminary Hilda Longinotti, Ronald Kuchta, the renowned former Director of the Everson Museum of Arts and editor of American Ceramics, Jack Lenor Larsen's Longhouse Reserve, the Kapfenberg Cultural Center of Austria, and the Museum of Modern Ceramic Art in Mino, Japan.
