Charles Fazzino
Charles Fazzino is the most popular 3-D artist in the world today. With hundreds of galleries and museums exhibiting his pieces worldwide, he has gathered a loyal following throughout the United States, Europe, and Asia. His artwork can be found in the private collections of Presidents Bill Clinton and George Bush, Rosie O’Donnell, Morgan Freeman, Paul McCartney, Senator Hillary Clinton, President Tarja Halonnen of Finland, Michael Jordan, Andy Roddick, Tony Stewart, Julia Roberts, Katie Couric, Reggie Jackson, and many other internationally renowned figures and organizations.
As the creator of 3-D limited edition fine art, he is best known for his obsession with bright colors and wonderful detail, the frenetic energy that infuses his work and a unique hand assembled 3-D layering technique that brings his images to life. Born in Bronx, NY, and a graduate of the New York School of Visual Arts, Charles Fazzino’s popularity has soared during his thirty-year-career.
Most famous for his 3-D renderings of New York and countless other cities, he has also established himself as a pop culture historian with masterful tributes to popular icons such as The New York Yankees, Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, and the Characters of Walt Disney. As a celebrated events artist, he has painted more than 20 Super Bowls for the National Football League, 18 All-Star Games for Major League Baseball, 5 Daytime Emmy Award Ceremonies, 2 FIFA World Cup Tournaments, the GRAMMY AWARDS, and was the official artist for the US Marines Corps 75th anniversary Toys for Tots Celebration and the National 9-11 Memorial and Museum’s 25th anniversary commemoration.
All art comes displayed in museum quality shadowbox frames, custom made to fit 3-D layering. Our shadowbox frames are comprised of 1.5" black matte finish wooden molding (the grain of the wood is not visible), double matting (typically a white outer mat and a black inner mat), backed with white foam core and fitted with plexiglass. Custom framing options are available, though cost is determined upon the style chosen.
