CHUCK GUMPERT

ARTIST STATEMENT

Exhibited professionally for nearly 20 years throughout Washington, Oregon, and California — Chuck Gumpert’s bold abstract works and unique figurative paintings have enticed fine art collectors nationally and internationally, and his work has complimented the work of designers and architects in significant public projects around Seattle, Washington and Portland, Oregon. 

Lush, varied, mixed media layers of oil, acrylic, ink, graphite, and collage commingle to create organic elements and mystical forms — giving Gumpert’s provocative and gestural works texture, depth and energy.  Chuck enjoys when diverse media and materials coalesce on a complex surface in a harmony of “intentional happy accidents” — abstraction which can awaken subjective memories or unconscious associations.  The work invites viewers and collectors to creatively experience whatever flows to them through the art.

“I don’t think of myself as a poet or philosopher — I’m a visual artist.  I believe my ‘story’ is on the canvas — I invite you to explore your own internal and personal narrative!”
