Charles Fazzino

찰스 파지노
b. 1955, USA

찰스 파지노(b. 1955년)는 뉴욕을 대표하는 3D 팝아트 작가로, 다채로운 색감과 정교한 디테일이 돋보이는 입체적 세리그래프(Serigraph) 작품으로 세계적인 명성을 얻었다. 도시 풍경, 문화적 축제, 스포츠 이벤트 등을 독창적인 기법으로 표현하며 팝 컬처의 역사학자(Pop Culture Historian)라는 별칭을 갖고 있다.

그의 예술적 여정은 어린 시절 유럽식 팝업북과 어드벤트 캘린더에서 영감을 받은 것에서 시작됐다. 뉴욕 맨해튼의 School of Visual Arts를 졸업한 후, 그는 평면적 회화의 한계를 넘어선 3D 팝아트 기법을 개발했다. 각 요소를 오려 겹쳐 붙이는 세리그래프 레이어링 방식과 글리터, 크리스털 장식을 더해 생동감 있는 작품을 완성한다.

찰스 파지노의 작품은 전 세계 20개국 이상에서 전시되었으며, 빌 클린턴, 폴 매카트니, 마이클 조던 등 유명 인사들이 소장하고 있다. 또한, 슈퍼볼, 그래미 어워드, 데이타임 에미상 등 주요 문화·스포츠 이벤트의 공식 아트워크를 제작하며 대중문화와 예술을 연결하는 독보적 위치를 구축했다.

그의 작품 속 뉴욕의 타임스퀘어, 브로드웨이, 자유의 여신상 등 상징적 랜드마크는 활기찬 에너지를 담고 있으며, 관람객이 직접 탐험하고 몰입하는 ‘3D의 세계’를 펼쳐 보인다. 평면적 예술의 경계를 허물고 새로운 스타일을 개척한 그는, 오늘날까지도 혁신적인 실험과 도전을 계속하고 있다.
