Charles Penny

Charles Penny was born in 1952 in Germany and discovered his artistic calling early in life. After studying in London at Kingston Polytechnic and the St. Martins School of Art, he spent many years working as a freelance illustrator before shifting his focus to fine art printmaking about twenty-five years ago.
Penny’s etchings and limited edition serigraphic screen-prints were first printed and published in 1984. Since then, he has achieved remarkable international success and built a devoted following of collectors drawn to his distinctive Mediterranean-themed works. His exceptional ability to paint light and shade while conveying the heat and atmosphere of a setting has earned him recognition as one of the most accomplished watercolorists working today and secured his place in the annals of original printmaking from the latter half of the twentieth century.
The artist has been featured in numerous one-person exhibitions, including shows at London’s AM Chadwick Gallery, Amalgam Gallery, and Harrods, as well as many exhibitions in Japan. Today, Charles Penny is represented by Park West Gallery, where collectors continue to appreciate his masterful technique and evocative Mediterranean scenes.
