Collection: Charlotte Cornish | Artist

Charlotte Cornish is a British painter and printmaker who has been working professionally for over twenty-five years, with much of her work held in public, private and corporate collections. She studied Fine Art at the Slade School of Art in 1992, with further studies at Central Saint Martins, and her early specialism in printmaking continues to inform her practice as a painter.

Charlotte builds her abstract paintings using layers of acrylic paint, treating each layer, often poured, as a distinct element. Working in acrylic allows each layer to dry overnight, giving her the opportunity to remove new painted layers without affecting the work beneath. Her recent works on paper use a screen print monotype process with additional painted elements, combining the qualities of both mediums in unique, collectable pieces.

Much of the initial inspiration for Charlotte Cornish's contemporary art comes from places she has visited and that hold personal significance. She is drawn to places full of intense atmosphere, their colours, noises and smells, capturing something of these experiences in bold abstract compositions.

"I love exploring the possibilities of colour and colour relationships and the infinite potential to create dynamic connections and reactions." - Charlotte Cornish
