Charles Parkhill holds a Bachelor's of Fine Art, from the University of South Florida, and an MFA in Visual Art, from the University of Utah. The past recipient of two Florida Individual Artist Fellowships (1993, 1998), Parkhill has won numerous awards and prizes at various outdoor and indoor shows. His work may be found in the permanent collections of the St. Petersburg/Clearwater International Airport, the City of St. Petersburg, the City of Orlando, Neiman Marcus (Tampa and Coral Gables), the Poynter Institute, the Polk Museum of Art, the University of South Florida (Sam and Martha Gibbons Alumni Center), Stetson University (Duncan Gallery of Art), St. Petersburg College, the Leepa Rattner Museum, MMA Financial, and Sabal Trust, among others, as well as in numerous private collections. Recent solo shows include exhibitions at the Leslie Curran Gallery in 2016 and 2018, Gallery 221 at Hillsborough Community College in 2012, and the Dunedin Fine Art Center in 2009. He is represented by ARTicles Gallery in St. Petersburg. Charles keeps a studio in Tampa, where he lives with his wife and a cat named Banksy.

ARTIST STATEMENT:

Traditionally, sculpture is made by removing material from a block of wood or stone, or by modeling clay or wax. My method of working usually starts by adding material such as wood or metal. It is a building process much like an architect constructs a house. Once I have some sort of form established, I may add more or remove some material. It depends where the particular piece leads me.

I choose wood salvaged from older buildings that are under renovation as my primary working medium. In selecting the wood from which to construct a work, I prefer salvaged material because it has a patina of its own making. The color, grain, old paint, dents, scratches, and nail holes give the surface a character and history that is incorporated into the look and feel of the work. Expensive exotic wood would serve no purpose to me, unless it has that patina of time and wear, unless it has a history. I prefer to make uncommon objects out of common materials.

Abstract form leaves the content of the work open to interpretation. It stirs the memory; it may look vaguely familiar, but the best forms resist the specific. I title the sculptures mostly for identification purposes. I expect viewers to identify the work for themselves, to discover their own meaning.
