This was mainly major Art and Design projects throughout the United Kingdom, carrying out commissions for a wide variety of clients including local authorities, property developers, banks and major insurance companies. His last project before he retired as a sculptor was the prestigious sculpture for Livingston New Town in 1996 which was the result of winning a national sculpture competition to provide a bronze figurative group entitled “The community” for Livingston New Town.

Since early 1997 he returned to the painting of easel pictures and has exhibited at the Royal Glasgow Institute, the Royal Scottish Society of Painters in Watercolours, The Royal Scottish Academy, and several exhibitions in London. Charles has works in various private collections throughout the U.K. and abroad.

There is also a section of the web site which provides information on Charles Anderson’s work as a Sculptor and Mural designer with examples of many of his murals. As a result of more modern redevelopment projects some murals may be at risk of being destroyed, but resiting of these would be a far better outcome.
