Charles van Horne is a multidisciplinary artist who has worked and exhibited internationally. His process involves painting, monoprints and associated flat surface art, hanging objects and kinetic sculpture, and earthworks. 

“I have always interested in: How do people see color in space? I have been hanging found objects, ribbons of colors, sharp and dangerous hanging objects, and making paintings and various earthworks from the mid-1970s in Washington Market/Tribeca, in London, and again in New York and upstate New York. For the last 30 years I have been exploring colored rectangles, variously called Magic Squares, Equivalents, and Pictures of Nothing, ranging in size from intimate (2” x 3”) to scale (14’ x 20’).”

Mr. van Horne’s formal classes were in the architecture program overseen by Louis Kahn at the University of Pennsylvania. He is a member of the Art Students League and has been in studio with Larry Poons, and studied with Ronnie Landfield, Jill Nathanson and Elizabeth Demaray among others.
