Charlie Emmet, 19, is a visual artist from Washington DC, and is currently a sophomore at the Maryland Institute College of Art, working to receive a degree in General Fine Arts, with a film minor. Previously, he spent time experimenting with drawing the figure at the Art Students League in New York City, and graduated from City-As-School, also located in Manhattan. Originally gravitating to canvas as a way of journaling, his work currently explores intuitive mark making in its purest sense. Heavily informed by the New Sincerity movement, Charlie made a film titled “asbestos”, which opened his eyes to a more instinctive driven, performance based, way of making across his respective mediums. This led into his most recent works, the Flower, Water and Chalkboard series, which are still currently in production.
