Sculptor Charles Dickson
I’m Very Much a Futurist
Charles Dickson is a self-taught artist, sculptor, and designer whose public artwork spans decades and can be found throughout Southern California. Before joining us for the program “Is Car Culture the Ultimate Act of Community in Crenshaw?” with Destination Crenshaw, which commissioned Dickson to create the sculpture “Car Culture” as part of its 1.3-mile-long monument to Black L.A. history, art, and culture, the artist sat down in the green room with us to chat about his summer plans, working with plastic, and his 1993 Ford F-250.
