Christian Charles is a Haitian-American artist, currently based in Miami, Florida. Christian’s work can be best described as “funk art.” He is inspired by the creative innovations of late 20th century America and more predominately the black culture during that time. With inspirations from the artists of neo-expressionism to the musical innovations of Miles Davis and Sly Stone, Christian pays homage by refining that spirit of “funk” in the 21st century. Christian has exhibited in local galleries and art shows such as Frederic Snitzer Gallery, Locust Projects, YoungArts, and New World School of the Arts. He has partnered with the Miami Parking Authority on a commissioned mural for one of their parking garages in Downtown Miami.

He is a recent graduate of New World School of the Arts with a Bachelor’s degree in Painting.
