ARTIST RECEPTION: Where Are We Now: The Abstract Works of Charles Gulbrandsen

  • Vicinanza Studios & Gallery 493 Heritage Road Southbury, CT, 06488 United States (map)

Vicinanza Studios & Gallery invites you to experience the radiant and introspective works of Charles Gulbrandsen.

A third-generation artist whose roots trace back to the iconic ceiling of Grand Central Terminal, Charles continues his family's legacy with a contemporary exploration of abstraction, light, and space. From his prestigious beginnings — earning accolades at The Cooper Union and restoring the celestial mural of Grand Central in 1996 — to his current body of work, Gulbrandsen’s paintings provoke a sensory dialogue between opacity and translucency.

Described as glimpses of distant nebulae or firing neurons, his works challenge perceptions of scale and dimensionality. Through luminous layers that both reveal and obscure, Charles invites viewers into a space where light and form dissolve and intertwine, creating moments that feel at once natural and otherworldly.

Join us in celebrating this extraordinary collection that blurs the lines between the seen and unseen, and step into a world where every canvas asks, "What place is this, and where are we now?"
