Born in Birmingham, Alabama, Charles Chambers is a self taught artist that has been painting since 1996. He has been inspired by the works and writings of an assortment of artists and movements. His education has been the museums throughout North America and Europe and includes: the frozen landscapes of Avercamp, the luminescence of Vermeer, the anxiety of Munch and Schiele, the constant re-invention of Picasso, the process of de Kooning, the impact of Bacon and the Odd world of Nerdrum.

Charles’ work focuses primarily on the human form. He begins a painting with only a general idea and prefers that it develop on its own. Most start as a rough sketch and as lines are added, new forms are suggested and adjustments are made to find each painting’s composition and final subject. As the work evolves, multiple layers create depth and the figurative effect of being pulled in various directions, ending with a sense of peripheral movement. His favorite compliment came from a collector when she described his work as "visceral" and hopes to achieve a similar reaction from all his viewers.

He has been in numerous group and one man shows in Birmingham, Alabama and Atlanta, Georgia. His work is in private and corporate collections throughout America.
