Career

Charles Gitnick was born with an innate love for the arts. He was barely five when he started making paintings at home. His initial creations were abstracts and landscapes. His parents soon noticed their little son’s skills and had him enrolled in art classes. The boy, however, did not like the classes as he felt that his creativity was being curbed by his teachers. He thus left the class and started studying art by himself through videos and books. His favorite artists are Jackson Pollack and Jean-Michel Basquiat who he considers his inspiration. He really admires them for their originality.

Charles was motivated to utilize guns in his artwork after hearing about the shootings and terrorist attacks that happen regularly. He wanted to convey the message to his audience that guns are scary and dangerous, and thus need to be kept away from the streets. As we can see from his artworks, the figures of the guns are concealed behind vibrant colors, making them almost invisible. Through such works, the young artist conveys a symbolic message: guns are best left invisible and confined to the art galleries.

Starting small, from his own home where he sold his first piece of anti-gun artwork, the youngster has now come a long way. He has received commissions from all over the United States, and other countries like Canada, Australia, Monaco, Italy, Switzerland, and Columbia! He charges up to $2500 per piece and has exhibited his artwork in several famous galleries around the world. This youngster is not just spreading the message of peace but has also created a reputation for himself as a rising artist who has got a lot to offer to the world. Not at all bad for a boy who is still in his teens! He runs a Youtube channel (Charles Gitnick) where he showcases his art to over 76k subscribers. He also has a personal website named www.charlesarts.com.
