ARTIST STORY

It all began in Budapest. That is where Chuck was born. The Danube River runs through this fine city dividing it into Buda and Pest. Few have ever doubted which side he was born on. Giving up real castles and true confectionery shops was well worth a move to Cleveland, OH where Chuck embarked upon an artistic career. After a rewarding stint as a studio principal the inevitable happened. Chuck became a freelance illustrator. This happy, un-housebroken state enabled him to pursue his passion, drawing. Fortunately, people give him money for this. Now-a-days the computer, used as a powerful drawing tool, has become his medium of choice.

This year’s design is based on Wimmer’s featured artwork “People Watching”. We love his whimsical, colorful style and can’t wait to show you the other merchandise we’ll be selling at the art fair that features this work and others from Chuck.

ARTIST STORY

I’m an artist from Greenville, South Carolina, and from a very young age, I’ve been captivated by the act of creating. My work is rooted in concept—while I value aesthetics, I believe that a strong idea should always be at the heart of the piece.

Communication plays a central role in my artistic practice. I have a deep fascination with words and their power to shape perception, emotion, and experience. I often deconstruct words into their simplest form—letters—exploring how these individual symbols are neutral until we assign them meaning through placement and intention.

Letters and words are used in my work, inviting viewers to engage and participate. There’s an instinctive urge to assemble the letters into recognizable words, making the experience both interactive and deeply personal. In that way, the audience becomes part of the artwork, completing it with their own interpretations. Each piece I create carries a distinct concept, anchoring the visual and emotional impact.

My paintings are created on wood panels using a combination of acrylic paint, ink, charcoal, graphite, and spray paint. I’m constantly exploring new ways to challenge familiar ideas and draw attention to the things we often overlook in our daily lives.

The 2025 Ann Arbor Street Art Fair Commemorative Poster was designed using this same thoughtful, observational approach. Inspired by my many years as an exhibitor at the Fair, I chose to depict the iconic Burton Memorial Tower surrounded by artists and patrons, celebrating the return of the Ann Arbor Street Art Fair, The Original, in its 66th year.

“I am honored to have been chosen as the 2025 Ann Arbor Original Featured Artist. I've always loved the show and I can't wait for it!”
