About the Item

Acrylic ink on paper. Paper size: 8.75" x 13.5" Frame size: 16.5" x 21.25" Charles Buckley lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. His current work, entitled “Striation Series,” demonstrates a masterful usage of ink and pencil or charcoal on paper to create handmade works that feel like printed materials from mid-century media. Specifically, Buckley sources anonymous vintage photographs from the 1950s, 60s and 70s. He then manipulates these images by adding horizontal lines (a reference to television of the era) or a pixelated dot pattern (a reference to newspapers and printed material of the era). In fact, the process actually reflects an erasure, where parts of the image are deleted to obscure details and emphasize sentiment. Recognizable scenes of women with cars or popular baseball players become abstracted through the artist’s lined compositions. Buckley’s recent work features a predominance of powerful, courageous women surfing, driving, boating or engaged in other athletic pursuits. In his drawings, there is always a sense of motion—capturing a moment, yet acknowledging that it exists in a state of continual flux. Thus, Buckley cuts through the original photographs while translating them to drawing; only a portion of the image remains—enough for viewers to recognize their family histories within, but ambiguous enough to evoke the hazy chambers of human memory. In his “Striation Series,” Buckley seeks to stress that the act of remembering inherently includes forgetting, to some extent. Nostalgia is produced through selective memory, and perhaps this impetus is why the artist chooses photographs of unknown people rather than ones of his family from the same time period.
