Charlotte Cornish - Painter and printmaker The dominant theme of my work is the nature of human experience. Creating tensions and harmonies through the use of colour and form, I try to communicate visually a sense of what it feels like to be alive. Travel abroad has always provided a rich source of inspiration for my work. I have been drawn to visiting places where colour and cultural richness are abundant. In recent years I have visited the North African countries of Marrakech, Cairo, and Tunisia. The markets here are full of colour, activity, exotic smells and an intense experience of the unfamiliar. All these impressions I try to explore visually in my work. I work mainly using acrylic paint on canvas. By contrasting numerous translucent poured layers of paint with direct, dynamic, opaque gestural marks, I try to create an initial visual impact that is revealed to be more subtle on closer inspection; the semitransparent layers also revealing the physical history of the making of the painting. Strong, vibrant colour and bold, gestural marks feature in both my paintings and prints. I regularly exhibit work and my work is also handled by numerous art consultancies, selling to both private and corporate clients.
