(3.70 - 156 votes)About Charlie:
Isoe’s pictorial compositions are based largely on his personal experiences and observations he makes of his immediate social surroundings. Isoe left school at the age of sixteen and immersed himself in a world of graffiti, skateboarding, travel, and life on the streets. As he entered his twenties, already well traveled, rich in experiences with highs and broken bones, he went back to attain a high school diploma, and subsequently a Degree in Fine Art.
For the last three years, Isoe has been living in Europe as a freelance artist, observer and wanderer. His work has been seen on the streets of Australia, Thailand, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, Czech Republic and Germany.

Saw an article on this article and I couldnt take my eyes off his work. Amazing! http://www.charlieisoe.com/...
you mentioned basquiat, but what about francis bacon? less demonically strange, but still compellingly stark and awkwardly beautiful!

In my opinion, Isoe is way better than Jean Michel Basquiat. In fact, I see little resemblance. I love this work. I wish I could afford to buy it.

I see Egon Schiele and Gustav Klimt in his Work, magnificent portraits.

Maybe artists don’t need to worry about copying. Maybe they’re starting a genre.

WOW! I’ve never seen anything quite like it!At first glance, it’s a little creepy. If you take the time and study it, it’s very impressive.

Amazing, completely beautiful. I’m utterly captured by this work. Thought provoking and the pieces capture a new and unique art style.
I adore them.

Meraviglioso!!

His art is like a more realistic Jean Michel Basquiat. However, it is too much like Jean Michel Basquiat…the crossed out letters, faces are taken from Basquiat. Also his graffiti tag even resembles Basquiat’s SAMO tag. Isoe prints ISOE in all capital block letters just as Basquiat printed his SAMO tag. This guy is a good artist but if I were him I wouldn’t base my art or my career on somebody elses.
