About the Artist
CHARLENE LANZEL was born on January 29th, 1967 in LaCrosse, Wisconsin. She is the daughter of two artists and one of six children. Charlene began painting by age 5 and was published in an instruction book for elementary school art teachers by age 9. In 1985 she received the Senior Art Award and Art Scholarship from her high school in Onalaska, Wisconsin which she gave up to explore life on her own. Charlene Lanzel relocated to New York City in 1987 where she has worked as a display artist and world-class muralist.
As a fine artist, Charlene Lanzel is best known for her continuing series of Pin-Up Girls which she began painting in 1996. The sultry, self-taught artist strives to immortalize her bevy of beautiful friends and shows her Pin-Up Art at various lounges and galleries. For many years, Charlene was an avid night crawler and face on New York City's nightlife scene. She had been moonlighting as a cigarette girl and go-go dancer in the city's hottest night spots. This introduced her to some of the most beautiful and sexy women in town. She felt they should all be immortalized and began featuring her friends as the models in her paintings. She found these women to be confident, intelligent individuals; empowered by their femininity and sensuality.
Charlene Lanzel has been influenced by a variety of imagery spanning many decades. In her work you'll catch glimpses of sophisticated style from the 1920's and 30's, the Pin-Up theme of the 40's and 50's and a Pop Art sensibility from the 60's. There's a natural, open sexuality from the 70's and campy glamour of the 1980's. You'll also find references to the 90's retro-lounge scene and a timeless sense of humor. Painted in acrylics, the nearly life-size figures virtually leap from the canvases. In 2006, Charlene Lanzel launched a merchandise line featuring her Pin-Up Art.
