Charles Wish (born, Los Angeles, California, 1971) is an American painter best known for visually fusing Regionalism imagery with 9th - 19th century South Asian symbolism and motifs. (Debut show: CPop Gallery, Detroit, Michigan - 2005) Confronting the information age challenges of extreme cultural contrariety and cross-cultural interaction, as well as America’s own internal culture war, Wish draws from a diverse range of influences to deliver his style of "agrariadelic" paintings. Citing various artists of the far-east, along with American painters including: Grant Wood and Thomas Hart Benton, Wish thoughtfully combines the imagery of an esoteric philosophy with some of rural-America’s most selfsame figures and scenes.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Charles Wish Solo Exhibit at CPop is Full of Odd Twists on Symbols, Images )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Between Art & Life )〕 After spending four years (1999–2003) at a Ramakrishna, Hindu monastery, as a student of South-Asian culture and personal assistant to Swami Swahananda, Wish would return to the San Fernando Valley, California. It would be here, not far from where he spent his formative years, where he would set up his first studio and launch his art career. Wish now maintains two studios, the original in Southern California and one in Elk County, PA, where he and his wife are restoring and converting a large Federal-style building into a cultural center and community creative space.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= California Couple Revives Local Land Mark )〕 ==Collections== *Gary Pressman *Tom Thewes *Nederlander Organization *Debi Jacobson *Greg Escalante *Lee Ving *Vedanta Society of Southern California *Topher Crowder *Dead Meadow *Robert Evans (photographer) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Charles Wish」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
