New Horizons

New Horizons by Charlotte De Pace

Created at the start of 2023, this original painting is inspired by hope for the new year - embracing challenges, seeking new opportunities, and moving towards a bright, fulfilling future. This piece is part of a series of colourful abstract landscapes and continues Charlotte's fascination with layering and juxtaposing rich vivid colour, experimenting with ideas of transparency and solidity, and employing abstract composition to evoke a sense of joy, light and equilibrium.

New Horizons is hand-signed on the front and back and is ready to hang with wire attached. Please note, this painting is UNFRAMED - careful attention has been paid to the sides of the canvas (see picture in gallery images) so it doesn't require framing but for an extra special finish, Charlotte recommends professional framing in a natural timber floating frame (such as the examples in the gallery images) and can be arranged through Bluethumb.

Charlotte’s artistic practice is driven by a desire to find and express a brighter side of life. Aware of the emotive power of colour and harmonious composition, she embraces a vibrant palette and finds inspiration in nature, distilling it to its purest forms to create abstract compositions. Rainbow arcs are a recurring symbol throughout her artwork, chosen for their association with hope and peace as well as their visual versatility to create interesting and unexpected forms. Through layering and juxtaposing rich, vivid colour, Charlotte gives strength and luminosity to overlapping shapes and shadows evoking a sense of harmony, simplicity and joy.

Art and art making have always been an integral part of Charlotte’s life. Following her university studies (Bachelor of Visual and Performing Arts, VCA, and Master of Art Curatorship, University of Melbourne), she enjoyed a career in exhibition management and curatorship. Over the last few years, she’s focussed on her own professional artistic practice drawing on her passion for colour and developing a distinctive abstract style.
