Charlie
Stein

Charlie Stein explores dominant cultural aesthetics, questioning modes of perception in a highly digitized and visually overstimulated world. Her multidisciplinary practice spans drawing, painting, sculpture, and text, with a focus on social structures, digital media, and contemporary communication aesthetics.

Currently a guest professor for painting and drawing at HfBK Hamburg, Stein has also lectured at the Pratt Institute in New York, UdK Berlin, and CalArts in Los Angeles. She studied fine arts with Christian Jankowski, and holds graduate degrees in political science, sociology, linguistics, and English literature.

In 2024 Stein was a recipient of the ISCP program in New York and in 2022, she was awarded a grant from the Stiftung Kunstfonds Berlin. Her work has been showcased internationally at venues such as Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery in London, the Songjiang Art Museum in Shanghai, the Museum Villa Merkel in Esslingen, and the Sculpture Triennial in Bingen.

Charlie Stein lives and works in Berlin.
