Charles Arthur Arnoldi (born April 10, 1946)[1] is an American painter, sculptor and printmaker.[2] [3]

Life and work

Arnoldi began using actual tree branches as a compositional element in his works, combined with painting to create stick constructions. These works did not endeavor to create illusions but rather inhabited physical space.

In the early 1970s, the artist attracted attention for his wall-relief wood sculptures, such as Honeymoons in the collection of the Honolulu Museum of Art. He had his first solo exhibition at the Riko Mizuno Gallery in Los Angeles in 1971. The following year he was included in Documenta V, Kassel, Germany, 1972. In 1977, Arnoldi was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship[4] for Fine Arts. That same year, he had his first stick sculpture cast in bronze.[5] Roark, in the collection of the Honolulu Museum of Art, is a monumental example of this technique.[6] The use of wood remained a feature of Arnoldi's oeuvre, although, since the 1980s, he has often employed it in combination with other media. In the 1990s, Arnoldi's output changed radically. He began producing abstract paintings on canvas, first black and white, and later brightly colored.[5] Justice is an example of these free-flowing organic paintings. He played himself in the 2005 film, Sketches of Frank Gehry, directed by Sydney Pollack. Arnoldi lives and works in Los Angeles.
