Artists Statement for the Work on Paper: My recent work on paper represents a shift from the outside inward. Subtle yet, a new voice is emerging from within that ultimately propels me to tell my story through image, composition and colour. Quietly each paper piece expresses personal milestones of self-discovery.

My process begins with simple penciled symbols inspired by children’s drawings and primitive cultural icons. Drawn elements become seeds for my paintings as I sculpt varied surfaces on the paper. The encaustic medium allows me to play with degrees of transparency and encapsulate found objects. My story is embedded in the layers, peeking through just enough to be a glimmer.

Many people say these paintings evoke a child’s whimsy. For me they represent an important visual bridge for the emotional growth we all experience, embrace or endure.

I have a strong commitment to Public Art and a belief that Art should be integrated into the experience of Daily Life and so I have developed an outdoor Art environment in the Mile End neighborhood of Montreal, where I work and live. I do this because I believe that urban reclamation and occupying public spaces with Art is a form of culture in action.

My work has received accolades from the City of Montreal and can also be found in many private collections, including several commissions from the Cirque du Soleil.

The medium of watercolour attracts him because of its ability to make both dense, opaque marks and transparent, stain-like marks. It also allows him to easily manipulate and erode the applied pigment. This creates not only deliberate effects but also random, found effects. Often he finds inspiration in insignificant and ephemeral things such as shadows, stains and accidental, everyday marks.

Warren’s present direction is toward a monochromatic or near monochromatic palette. This direction is influenced by the strange way that x-ray images, ultrasound images, and photographic negatives portray the world.

Eventually, I.C. (Chuck as he’s known) began a side career as screenwriter for such films as: To Kill A Clown starring Alan Alda and Blythe Danner, Word Of Honor (CBS) with Karl Malden, Ron Silver, John Malkovich (in his first credited role), Steeler And The Pittsburgh Kid, Henry Thomas, Mean Joe Greene, Stranger On My Land (ABC) with Tommy Lee Jones, Ben Johnson; as well as 16 episodes for Law & Order.
