Artwork Description

Solstice is an original work on paper from Charlotte's Colourscapes series.

In creating this original drawing (Prismacolor pencil on 185gm Arches 100% cotton paper) Charlotte aims to spark joy through her vibrant palette and bright composition. Throughout her Colourscapes series, she loves to play with ideas of transparency and solidity through the layering and blending of rich hues to achieve a sense of luminosity and equilibrium.

This original drawing is hand-signed and unframed (the images are examples of framing ideas). The standard paper size (A3 including an approx 2cm white border) allows for easy DIY framing options, however professional framing is recommended for an extra special finish and can be arranged through Bluethumb.

Artist Bio

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.
