Charles Arnoldi is an American abstract painter, sculptor, and printmaker. A versatile, ever evolving artist, known for working with non-traditional materials, Arnoldi has produced a hugely varied body of work. From traditional oil paintings on canvas, to bronze sculpture, monoprints, lithographs, “chainsaw paintings” (wood panels cut into with power saws), aluminum paintings and polyethylene wall reliefs, his vocabulary of artistic expression is constantly expanding.
