About the Artist

There are certain artists who grip the subconscious and dive into temporalities of the forgotten, touching upon the cornerstones of human memory and being. Charles Fine is one such artist. He works human consciousness in a way that connects the corporeal thinking organism with the intimacies of what might be called earth consciousness. Fine attends to the natural world and ancientness in ways that are both thought provoking and transcendent. With an oeuvre that is diverse and far-reaching Fine addresses themes of environment, time, memory, encounter, discovery, decay, and evolution.

Charles Fine was born in 1951. He studied at the Otis Art Institute, and UCLA. Fine has exhibited at ACE Gallery since 1987.
