From
Bridgette Mayer Gallery press release:
Bridgette
Mayer Gallery is pleased to present New
Works: Charles Burwell. The Philadelphia painter’s latest paintings are in
his characteristic style, where he achieves compositional balance through
varying modes of geometric patterning and dynamic color relationships. Four of
Charles Burwell’s paintings that are featured were recently on view at the
McNay Art Museum in San Antonio, Texas in the exhibition Beauty Reigns: A
Baroque Sensibility in Recent Paintings. The Bridgette Mayer Gallery will be
exhibiting them before they go on view at the Akron Museum in Ohio in January.
Charles
Burwell received his BFA from Temple University’s Tyler School of Art
(Philadelphia, PA) in 1977, and his MFA from Yale University School of Art (New
Haven, CT) in 1979. He has participated in many exhibitions, including solo
shows at Bridgette Mayer Gallery (Philadelphia, PA), the Delaware Center for
the Contemporary Arts (Wilmington, DE), Dartmouth College (Hanover, NH), the
University of Delaware (Newark, DE), and Swarthmore College (Swarthmore, PA).
He has taught at Tyler School of Art, Rhode Island School of Design
(Providence, RI), and Dartmouth College. Burwell's work is included in the
collections of the Philadelphia Museum of Art (Philadelphia, PA), the Delaware
Art Museum (Wilmington, DE), the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts
(Philadelphia, PA), and The Studio Museum in Harlem (New York, NY), Temple
University, Pearson-McGonigle Athletic Complex (Philadelphia, PA), Temple
