Charles Tersolo

“I am immensely pleased to be able to present my work to you in this form.   It is the support of my friends and collectors that make this online gallery and the creation of the paintings found therein possible.”

Charles Tersolo was born in Rochester, New Hampshire in 1974.  After finishing high school in Durham, Charles continued his artistic pursuits at the University of New Hampshire.  Charles earned a bachelor of arts and a masters of arts in teaching from UNH, graduating Suma cum laude in 1995.  College schooling helped Charles rub shoulders with some of the most renowned artists in the American art world today.

Now Charles lives in Boston and is a highly accomplished oil painter, respected by professional artists, galleries, and collectors throughout many cities and towns in the Northeast.  Studying on his own as well, Charles has visited museums all over the United States and the world and familiarized himself with hundreds of the most important artists from the past and present to ensure his work carry a connection while remaining fresh and innovative.   

With over 5 years of solo and group exhibitions behind him, including shows in New York City and Provincetown, he continues creating work that captures attention.  Celebration of light and color and the works of humans and nature is the foundation to Charles work, resulting in an artistic taste & sensibility. His strong color and bold brush strokes have been compared to the works of artists such as Van Gogh, Lucien Freud, and Lovis Corinth.

 Three styles and subjects characterize his work; Cityscapes, portraits, and a new conceptual style that integrates words with images and brushwork.  Click on either of the pictures below to view a gallery of paintings and more information on these three distinct styles.
