About Charlie Edmiston
On first sight, you wouldn’t guess that Charlie Edmiston is colorblind, however his perpetual study and experimentation of different color harmonies is an essential part of his proces. Charlie always challenges himself to develop a palette that compliments the materials and irregular shapes found within his work. With a background in graffiti, his style is vivid and bold, and largely inspired by architecture and design.

Travel Diary
Sunday, May 4, 2025
This morning I woke up in rainy Buffalo, New York and visited the AKG Art Museum, which has an incredible collection and beautiful architecture. Next, I hopped on the road, making a quick stop at High Falls in Rochester before continuing to Ithaca for a studio visit with artist Josh Sperling. Josh was gracious enough to let me tour his studio as he prepares for a solo exhibition in Los Angeles later this month.

Day two started with a hike up to the gorgeous Taughannock Falls in Ithaca before the long drive down to Hudson, where I stopped for lunch and picked up a much-needed raincoat. Next, I headed to Art Omi, spending most of the day exploring the massive sculpture park before making the final drive to Beacon, NY, where I'll be for the next few days.

Most of today was spent hiking around Beacon, exploring the forests and wetlands. I came across an article mentioning an abandoned brick factory nearby, so I broke in and took a look around. The "Denning’s Point Brick Works" produced bricks for the Empire State Building back in the day. After that, I drove just outside of Beacon to Poughkeepsie and wandered around part of the Hudson River before heading back to start some drawings. I was supposed to visit Dia Beacon, which is one of my favorite museums but of course it's closed until the day after I leave..
