Chuck Moffit tears down masculine forms and rebuilds them. Inspired in equal parts by the rugged tactility of artist Richard Serra and the transgressive purposefulness of fashion designer Hussein Chalayan, his work focuses on challenging conventional assumptions on gender, history and materials, and often navigates between the lines of art and sculptural design. Moffit received his MFA from Claremont Graduate University in 2000, and an Arts/Industry residency at the John Michael Kohler Arts Center in Wisconsin in 2005. His work has been in exhibitions at the Hammer Museum, Christopher Grimes Gallery, Blackman Cruz, Eric Buterbaugh Gallery, and the Torrance Museum of Art. He has collaborated on site-specific installations for High Desert Test Sites,  organized by artist Andrea Zittel. His work has been celebrated in such publications as Architectural Digest and T Magazine. Moffit lives and works in a light-filled Modernist studio hidden in the woods of Mount Baldy, California, where he has been working on his latest collection for the past three years.
