CHARLES MUNKA<br />
At it's core, Charles Munka's<br />
work is heavily involved with<br />
the mark-making act. His highly<br />
worked surfaces reveal the<br />
significance of process, while<br />
also opening up a discourse<br />
between the marks on the<br />
canvas, the artist's world and<br />
the tradition of art history.<br />
Munka is interested in exploring<br />
the very essence of visual<br />
communication, and in investigating<br />
the physicality and<br />
tactility of the materials at his<br />
disposal as an artist - be they<br />
paint, charcoal or collage -<br />
touches upon the idea of<br />
mark-making as something<br />
fundamental to the human<br />
experience.<br />
Participating in both solo and<br />
group exhibitions in Hong Kong<br />
and Los Angeles, along with<br />
collaborations in Tokyo, Paris,<br />
San Francisco and Shanghai,<br />
the wide-ranging audience<br />
exposed successfully to his<br />
work is testament to the translatability<br />
and transformative<br />
powers of his practise, it's<br />
engagement with the tradition<br />
of art history and it's relevance<br />
to pop culture today.
