Charlie Scheips
Gazaupouy I. Painting From the Invention series.

2018

About the Item

Charlie Scheips continues in the tradition of the impressionists and modernists who rejected the use and rules of monocular perspective and offered a compelling argument that photography was not the “most vivid depiction of reality.” His more figurative paintings are drawn from life while his montage paintings combine Cubist space with more narrative content that is overt rather than camouflaged by formal techniques. He emphasizes the fact they are made by hand and not emulating the photograph with its adherence to shadow and perspectival depth. The glueless collages that Scheips sometimes calls Inventions and Fugues have a starting point with a subject, idea, or experience drawn from his life: art history, the literary and cultural world, or a place or experience that has meaning to his daily life. Sometimes words or shapes act as the organizing principles and at other times individual places or concepts are his jumping-off point. His process underscores a sense of incompletion: dissolving traditional figure/ground relationships while still emphasizing a certain narrative or conceptual rift on the given subject. Charlie Scheips (b. 1959 in New York) is a painter living and working in Manhattan. Scheips’ painting technique and style reflect his fixation with cubism and collage which has informed his work since his college days as an art student. He consciously rejects photographic depiction and instead relies on his eye and hand in his drawings and paintings. The variety in Scheips’ artistic inspirations presents a body of work that is both autobiographical and provocative. His passion for drawing and coloration invites us into a multi-faceted world. He works both representationally and through more inventive constructions that he calls “glueless collages.” Seen collectively, these works reveal a love of literature, mythology, art, religion, music, and culture. Charlie Scheips is also a curator, writer, and cultural historian. He received a BA in Art from Ripon College in Wisconsin and MA from Columbia University in X. In the 1980s he was assistant to David Hockney who has remained a longtime friend and sometime collaborator. Scheips first solo exhibition of his paintings was presented in New York in 2020.
