Title: Transporter
Description: "Charles Campbell packs complex references into artworks of unnerving, covert beauty. The Transporter project, inhabiting the interstices of artistic and political concerns, began initially as a visual investigation of the phenomenon of forced migration. Campbell discovered instead that his work sparked the desire to find a material form for his painterly motifs, which had been drawn from political imagery, and therein discovered a way to invoke the interplay between various aspirational futures and the present. Transporter revived the genre of history painting in a series of 3D paintings that combined Buckminster Fuller's utopian architecture with loaded political imagery and elements dispersed in the communities around Open Space."--Open Space website.
