Charles Alexander

The art of Charles Alexander is whimsical, satiric, enigmatic and intuitive. He employs collage, mixed media, acrylics, watercolors, prints and 3D constructs to create “images that suggest rather than tell, probe rather than define, promise rather than state outright.”

A native of Detroit, Charles has exhibited works in Chicago and San Francisco. His work has been featured in the Detroit Free Press, the Ann Arbor News, Metro Times Weekly (six covers), A&U Magazine, and Between the Lines, for whom he writes a weekly column, Parting Glances, on gay and lesbian issues. He is a recipient of the Spirit of Detroit
Award, and in 1993 he was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award at the annual Pride Banquet. His art has raised nearly $60,000 for human rights, AIDS, lesbian and gay causes, and prominent organizations.
