Hi, I’m Charles, an award-winning painter and sculptor based in the vibrant city of Greenville, SC. My journey into the world of art began early, fueled by a profound passion for creating works that resonate deeply with those who experience them. This passion has been a driving force throughout my career, leading to national recognition and a multitude of opportunities to showcase my talents.
Early Recognition and Education
After achieving national recognition at a young age, I pursued formal education at the prestigious Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD). Graduating with honors in painting and art history in 2008, my time at SCAD was transformative, providing me with a solid foundation and honing my skills to a professional level. It was here that I developed a keen eye for detail and a profound understanding of art’s rich history, both of which continue to influence my work today.
A Legacy of Artistry
Art runs in my veins, a legacy passed down from my father, Charlie Pate, who is also a renowned painter and sculptor. Growing up in an environment rich with creativity, I was inspired by my father’s dedication and talent. Together, we have collaborated on numerous major projects, blending our visions and strengths to create art that captivates and inspires. While our collaborations are a testament to our shared passion, we also pursue our individual creative paths, each contributing uniquely to the world of art.
Artistic Achievements and Showcases
Throughout my career, my work has been showcased both internationally and across the United States. Each piece I create is a reflection of my journey, experiences, and the world around me. From intimate galleries to grand exhibitions, my art has found its way into the hearts and homes of collectors and enthusiasts worldwide.
An Invitation to Explore
I invite you to explore my collection, where each piece tells a story and evokes a unique emotion. Whether you are drawn to my paintings or sculptures, I hope you find pieces that speak to you on a personal level. For those with a specific vision in mind, I am always open to custom requests, working closely with clients to bring their ideas to life through my art.
The Gallery and Events Space
Located at 408b Cedar Lane Rd, Greenville, SC, my gallery is not only a place to view my latest works but also a perfect venue for hosting events. The space is ideal for parties, gatherings, and special occasions, offering a unique and inspiring backdrop. Feel free to contact me for any inquiries about renting the gallery for your next event.
Connecting with the Community
Art is not just about creation; it’s about connection. I believe in the power of art to bring people together, to inspire, and to provoke thought. Whether through my work, collaborations with my father, or the events hosted at my gallery, I aim to foster a community where art is appreciated and celebrated.
