Inspired by the natural curiosities, archaeological relics and found objects he has gathered over the past thirty years as he explored the Western United States, Mexico, and Central America, the work of Los Angeles artist Charles Fine is reflected in his multi-layered paintings, cast bronze sculptures and photographs.

In his wonderful Table of Contents series, tables are covered with dense and precise arrangements of his decades-in-the-making collection of ceremonial objects, seedpods and artifacts. An artist's artist, well respected in both the artist and collecting community, he has an exhibition shortly in Los Angeles {date to be announced}.

The finishing touches are being made to a book on the last 30 years of the work of Charles Fine, which I look forward to seeing.
