Charles L. Winslow is one of America's most distinguished artist. Mr. Winslow is internationally known and respected for his distinctive style of thread art. He creates pictures with nylon thread and pins. Winslow, a self taught artist has been drawing and painting since early childhood, but it was not until the 1960's that he started on his original art form. His original use of this medium has been extensively exhibited in New York, Maryland, Connecticut, Texas, California, North Carolina, Virginia, and Long Island. He has had several one-man shows & exhibited at Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, N.Y., Union Carbide, New York City, American International College, Springfield, Massachusetts, Washington Square art exhibit, The Long Island African American Museum, several libraries and galleries throughout the United States. Mr. Winslow starts his work with a drawing, which he discards as the idea takes shape, gains momentum and individuality. His work does not project itself forcefully, it possesses a sense of quietness and great strength. Mr. Winslow is the recipient of over 50 awards and has earned the nickname "The Thread Man" by his fellow artists. He is a member of the Long Island Black Artist Association and several professional organizations.
