Born in 1989 in Sunderland, North East England, Charlotte Roseberry is an abstract painter. Volatile and yet carefully considered, Charlotte's conceptual oil paintings and experimental drawings intermingle semi-organic forms with bright, block colours. Not forgetting Charlotte's delicate drops of humour, too, her works are a potent blend of symbolism and self-reflection.
The Concept Behind Charlotte Roseberry’s Paintings
Charlotte graduated from Edinburgh College of Art with a First Class Honours Degree in 2013 and now lives in the Scottish Borders with her husband and children. The painter explores ideas around graphic surrealism. Compounding ambient colours with sporadic outbursts of geometric shapes, Charlotte taps into the instability of our place in the universe. Flat, expansive spaces and monolithic patterns and contours appear throughout her work. The artist creates symbolic systems, often hinting at transport and voyage, that vehicle the concept of the human journey.
Exhibitions & Projects
Charlotte has exhibited at The Royal Scottish Academy’s Annual Exhibition and has had two solo shows to date. Other well-known galleries displaying her work include Arusha Gallery, The Biscuit Factory, Tatha Gallery, Kirkcudbright Galleries, and Upright Gallery. The painter has taken home a handful of prestigious awards, including The Andrew Grant Bequest Scholarship, The Bothy Project Prize and The Edinburgh University Collections Prize. Charlotte was also selected for The New Contemporaries and New Scottish Artists at the Fleming Collection, London, and has been published in The Catlin Guide: New Artists in the UK. She is a professional member of the Scottish Society of Artists and Visual Arts Scotland.
