Chuck Nitzberg, (b. 1953) is a New York City-based artist whose use of disparate materials, implemented in non-traditional ways, reflects an attraction to beauty subverted. His early training in graphic design and illustration has influenced his approach to drawing and painting. By focusing on the male image, and centering on themes of identity and belonging, he examines formal and objective interests relevant to gender issues and gay empowerment in society today.
