Join the Lancaster Museum of Art and History (MOAH) for a conversation with artist Charles Arnoldi and his exhibition, Master of Ceremony. The talk will be moderated by Rachel McCullah Wainwright, former curator at the Bakersfield Museum of Art and current owner of RAM in Bakersfield. Stop by on Sunday, November 12, 2023, at 2 PM in MOAH’s main gallery to gain insight on Arnoldi’s practice and his expansive career.

Charles Arnoldi is a multi-disciplinary artist whose varied body of work includes traditional oil paintings on canvas, bronze sculpture, monoprints, lithographs, “chainsaw paintings,” aluminum paintings, and polyethylene wall reliefs. Nurtured in Los Angeles’ burgeoning art scene in the late 1960s, Charles Arnoldi started his art career in Downtown Los Angeles and would move to Venice Beach alongside experimental Light and Space artists like Peter Alexander and Billy Al Bengston. During his early career, Arnoldi garnered notoriety for his abstracted compositions crafted from sticks gathered from orchards, ranches, and woods. His artistic expression would eventually expand working with non-traditional materials like tree branches and chainsaws.
