About the Item

United States, 1971 Born in New York City to parents from Mayaguez and Moca Puerto Rico, Darlene Charneco is a multi-media artist whose work has been described as minimalist and conceptual yet, at the same time, one detects elements of architecture, weaving traditions, nature, and communication. Inspired by vivid dreams and motivated by studies of symbiosis in evolution, Charneco has developed her own tactile language creating three-dimensional, mixed media “touchmaps” which orient, sense and express within a world that is constantly reconfigured by the evolution of technology and communication networks. The common thread underlying all of the work is, however, the artist’s vision of mutualistic pathways forward as well as an expression of the planet’s intricately connected diversity seen as collective strength and complex beauty. Charneco’s work has appeared in numerous group and solo exhibitions at prestigious museums such as the Katonah Museum of Art, the Heckscher Museum of Art and the Parrish Museum amongst others. Important galleries such as Praxis International Art and the Morgan Lehman Gallery have also shown Charneco’s work and a number of articles have appeared about this compelling artist and her work in the New York Times and the Princeton Architectural Press, as well as other highly respected publications. Charneco graduated magna cum laude and as a University Scholar with a BFA from Southampton College of Long Island University – she then attended SUNY Stony Brook’s MFA program as a Full Fellowship Scholar. Charneco was a Pollack-Krasner Foundation Grantee in 2017 and in 2020 she was awarded the coveted prize of Top Honors by Guild Hall and was selected for a solo exhibition there by juror Susan Thompson, a curator at the Guggenheim Museum. On a personal note, and as another expression of her vision, Charneco donates a portion of her profit from the sale of each piece to several global causes and non-profit organizations dedicated to bringing more benevolence and compassion into the world.

  • Lexicon (Large)
    By Guy Lyman
    Located in New Orleans, LA
    Artist's Statement: "This painting harkens back to a series called "Gridish" that I created over the past couple of years, comprising similar rectangular shapes with complex surfaces incorporating tar, house paint, enamel safety paint and other materials. Here, though, the forms are isolated in negative space rather than stacked in a grid, which gives them a more iconic quality." “Lyman’s work evolves restlessly, with the common elements generally being deft and unusual color choices that balance assonance and dissonance, and vestiges of the hand and facture purposely left in the paintings. The negative space is often so meticulously worked that it’s almost as if the objects – usually simple shapes – are there as much to complement the background as vice versa. Despite the often bold colors there is an elegance about his paintings that prevents them from being either loud or decorative. " Artbeit Zeitschrift “His paintings are a refreshing departure from the current abstract art world’s seemingly endless parade of fields of color with scribbles providing form, a style that is easily mimicked and has become a sort of “safe,” accessible go-to. There are confident decisions in these paintings appearing as commitments of strongly delineated forms and unexpected collisions of color that give the work a visceral, confident and playful soul, increasingly missing from contemporary expressionist abstraction. They are the paintings of a real painter rather than a decorative artist.” ArtSeen, 2018 (from a collector): "Love your work. We collect colorists like Wolf Kahn and Jennifer Bartlett, whom I commissioned a piece from that is in the entrance of Mayo Clinic. We are old fans...
