About the artist:
Charbonneau explores the depths of American culture through his subtle and meticulously crafted "trompe-l’oeil" cast-resin, polychrome bronze, and hammered metal sculptures. His work navigates the overlooked realms of everyday consumer objects—folding chairs, card tables, air fresheners—elevating them to subjects of renewed consideration. Eschewing readymade objects, Charbonneau reconstructs his factory-made subjects by hand, with a level of care and attentiveness that elevates them beyond utility.
Mitchell Charbonneau (b. 1994, Bedford, New Hampshire) received his BFA from The Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, New York in 2016. His debut solo show, Gone in 60 Seconds, opened at team (gallery, inc.), New York in early 2020. In the fall of that same year, Charbonneau was included in Ascensions, a group exhibition at Off Paradise, followed by two solo exhibitions with the gallery, Senseless in 2021 and Foundations in 2023. Charbonneau’s work is in private collections in the U.S. and Europe, including the JPMorgan Chase Art Collection and The Bunker Artspace in West Palm Beach.
Charbonneau lives and works in Ridgewood, New York, and is represented by Off Paradise, New York.
Specs:
Charbonneau’s Little Trees sculptures are cast in bronze and hand-painted to replicate the look of the familiar car air freshener. Like much of his work, they reimagine ordinary, mass-produced objects through traditional sculptural processes, replacing the cheap and ephemeral with weight and permanence. In line with his broader practice, the works draw attention to overlooked items of consumer culture, asking viewers to reconsider their form and meaning when stripped of utility and remade with care.More
