Endorsement

“Charles Pique of Arizona presents a fantasy of another kind, that of a lascivious paradise. Born in steamy Louisiana, he leans toward abundant, baroque shapes, strong colors, and visual excitement. The shrines of ‘jukebox city’ are places of heightened physical pleasures. His hedonistic paintings certainly contrast with the anxiety-ridden renditions of artists from major urban centers.”
