Drawing inspiration from Bill Traylor and Kara Walker, Charles, more known by his moniker REMEMBERCHARLES, creates art that takes viewers into his world and uplifts the Black experience in a very unique way. His exhibition, RMBR, held at Sanman Studios allowed viewers an closeup understanding of the San Antonio born artist who prides himself on creating art that shows his true experiences. Combining skillful strokes, sometimes rough edges, and his signature charcoal base, each piece takes you into a new reality that feels simultaneously homely and brand new. This is best highlighted in his piece, Dorsey, which was inspired by a picture of a friend's close relative Charles saw. This piece brings to life the nostalgia everyone gets looking at old pictures while still giving us the unique gaze and experience of the ever-so talented Remember Charles.
