The Waterton Gallery in Fulham has teamed up with artist Charlotte Sutton to display her latest collection of artworks created over the past year during the lockdown period. The solo exhibition, titled ‘Into The Light’ will show a diverse range of watercolour and oil paintings capturing the unique and distinctive characters of wildlife in intricate photorealistic detail.
Charlotte’s time consuming paintings demand her full attention and patience where she fully immerses herself in the process of capturing minute detail in her subject. Her hope is that her work allows the viewer to pause for a moment and become absorbed in the stunning complexities of the world we live in and to see the beauty that she feels on a daily basis. Igniting her curiosity for layers and textures, Charlotte challenges herself with studies of different animals to push her technical painting process. ‘Into the Light’ is and exhibition honouring the re-emergence into Charlotte’s painting practice and a guide for us all to seek beauty through the darkness.
Following her University Degree Show, Charlotte was invited to display her work in the 2015 HIX Award at CNB gallery and her work has been shown twice in The Guggleton Gallery’s Young Artists competition in 2020 and 2016, where she received highly commended in the 2016.
