‘Growing up on different continents has enormously influenced my work. Always moving as a young boy taught me to embrace change, and to quickly make new and interesting connections.’ It is this sense of connection that informed his highly acclaimed body of work, ‘Human Flow’, which focuses on the human touch. Its underlying narrative; one of unity within diversity, resonates strongly with Charriol. ‘Exploring art in each unique culture has kept me questioning and constantly curious. Through art I also began to express my cultural experiences and was able to absorb, interpret and appreciate the art and its differences with an open mind.’ Working in a variety of mediums, including oils, plastic, and wood, Charriol’s work is primal, energetic and humorous. French-American, b. 1979, based in Los Angeles, CA, United States
