ON THE WALL IN XIAN

Charles Webb owns and operates a film, video and digital media production company in San Francisco. He has written, produced, directed, and photographed projects in the United States, Europe and China, that encompass diverse genres, including national TV commercials (Miller Beer, Buick, Wishbone, national political candidates, etc.); documentaries (The Black Panthers/”George Jackson Lives”, “The Grateful Dead Movie”, martial artists in the People’s Republic of China “China’s Living Treasures”, etc.); and nationally released independent features (“Honky-Tonk Nights”, “Head-On Collision”, “American Eyeball”).

In parallel with these and other film and video projects, Mr. Webb has created a collection of neo-primitive/neo-shamanic paintings, sculpture, fetishes, jewelry and other artifacts, which seem to have “emerged” from an imaginal tribal culture. The collection intertwines ancient materials (stones, bones, horns, skins, etc) and methods (painting, molding, cutting, etc.) with the synthetic and cyber (acrylic polymer paints and clay, digital scanning and image manipulation, archival large format ultrachrome printing, etc.). To date, this “evidence” has been exhibited in Sedona Arizona and San Francisco. Pieces are included in several private collections.

Mr. Webb holds a post-graduate degree in Psychobiology from the University of Pittsburgh with a specialty in sensation and perception and was a published researcher in this field before moving into media production.
