Charles LaBelle
Intellectually rigorous, whimsical and often poignant,
Charles LaBelle’s work over the past fifteen years
has been devoted to investigating the intersection of place
and subjectivity. His practice embraces and often
combines a variety of media, including photography, video,
drawing, sculpture as well as action-based and site-specific
works.
Critic Gean Moreno has written: “LaBelle’s explorations
of the city are never divorced from the continuous inquiry
of the body. He proposes that one’s surroundings
in the poetics of lived experience serve as more than mere
setting.”
Having received his bachelor of fine arts degree at UCLA in
1988, LaBelle then studied film-making at the prestigious UCLA
film school before pursuing a full-time career in art. Currently
based in New York, where he is an instructor in the graduate
program in photography at Parsons School of Design, his art
has been exhibited widely in the both the US and abroad.
