Charlie Hewitt | Sculptures
Hewitt’s new steel sculptures painted in bright, gleaming hues of enamel reference the color-saturated iconic imagery of his earlier paintings and prints, while also building upon his previously sculpted works that are characterized by untreated granite and copper. However, where Hewitt once called upon the natural elements for aesthetics, his new body of work has emerged as a cooler, slicker, more modern cousin. Hewitt’s roots in Maine remain apparent in the symbology of the new sculptures, but the employment of enamel transplants the work into an utterly new realm, that of our fast-paced global environment.
