Mitchell Charbonneau (b. 1994, Bedford, New Hampshire) received his BFA from The Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, New York in 2016. Charbonneau explores the depths of American culture through his subtle and meticulously crafted “trompe-l’oeil” cast-resin and polychrome bronze sculptures. His work navigates the overlooked realms of everyday consumer objects—folding chairs, card tables, air fresheners—elevating them to subjects of renewed consideration. Eschewing readymade objects, Charbonneau reconstructs his factory-made subjects by hand, with a level of care and attentiveness that elevates them beyond utility. His debut solo show, “Gone in 60 Seconds,” opened at team (gallery, inc.), New York in early 2020. In the fall of that same year, Charbonneau was included in “Ascensions,” a group exhibition at Off Paradise, followed
by three exhibitions with the gallery, “Senseless” in 2021, “Foundations” in 2023 and “Remain” in 2026.
Charbonneau’s work is in private collections in the U.S. and Europe, including the JPMorgan Chase Art Collection and The Bunker Artspace in West Palm Beach. Charbonneau lives and works in Ridgewood, New York, and is represented by Off Paradise, New York.
