Charles Buckley

Charles Buckley is an American artist who currently lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. Buckley received a BFA in painting from the California College Of Arts in Oakland, California in 1994 and an MFA from Hunter College in New York in 2000. To the artist, the practice of drawing and painting is a means of engaging with the world and investigating preconceived notions. His notable “Progression” paintings are rendered on multiple canvases and are an investigation of the construction of narrative and progress. Often, Buckley’s oeuvre deals with the concept of “leakage,” which he describes as “the area where things cannot be explained rationally, yet fit within the logic of the painting and seem to be known.” His works have been acquired by national and international private collections. The artist has exhibited at venues including Madarts (Brooklyn, NY); Giacobetti Paul Gallery (Brooklyn, NY); Hunter College (New York, NY); Gallery Here (Oakland, CA); CCA Gallery (Oakland, CA); and Nexus Gallery (New York, NY). Buckley is represented by Susan Eley Fine Art (New York, NY and Hudson, NY) and has shown at both of the Gallery’s locations.
