Night Repair

Charles Arnoldi is an American painter and sculptor who rose to prominence in the 1970s for large-scale abstract works constructed from wood, metal, and acrylic. His layered, geometric compositions often employ industrial materials and processes, creating a visual vocabulary that bridges gestural abstraction and structural minimalism. Operating primarily in Los Angeles, Arnoldi's practice emerged from the postwar California art scene and has sustained an engagement with the formal properties of material itself as both subject and medium.
