Charles Moxon

b. UK

Charles Moxon is a contemporary British portrait painter based in London and New York. Born in the United Kingdom and spending a portion of his formative years in the south of France, Moxon developed a passion for the arts at the young age of seven. His portraits draw upon a combination of composition and technique from the Dutch 17th century Old Masters to which he adds the observance and hyperrealism of modern photorealism. Moxon uses layers of translucent glaze in a fashion reminiscent of the seventeenth-century Northern European painters, which help to create the light and depth he is aiming for. This modern touch on a traditional art form is what has attracted many of Moxon’s sitters and audiences.

Charles Moxon received a BA (Hons) degree in painting in 2013 from Camberwell College, University of Arts, London. Moxon has exhibited and worked extensively across Europe and North America. His portraits have been exhibited in the National Portrait Gallery in London in both 2016 and 2020 as part of the BP Portrait Award, the most recent for his portrait of Sharmadean Reid MBE.

In 2022 he was Awarded a Certificate of Excellence by the Portrait Society of America and exhibited at the Royal Society of Portrait Painters Exhibition in London.
