Charlie Spademan is a multi-disciplinary artist from Montclair, New Jersey.

Having studied sculpture at the Cleveland Institute of Art, where he learned the basics of metal forging, he has since acquired a mastery of several different disciplines. His command of materials used in his artwork are wide ranging and include metal, plastic, wood, mold making, machine design, electronics and automation.

Focusing on creating original works forged with his hands, Charlie explores the undefined boundaries between fine art, craft, and design. His pieces are rarely strictly utilitarian. Inspired by 19th-century and early 20th-century riveted and bolted iron structures, Charlie creates work that highlights the transformation of structural steel into organic forms. He has numerous commissioned works throughout New Jersey and New York.
