Private View

The artist studio has dramatically changed from the old romantic, cliché of a dirty cold garret. Evolving into a work space that is adapted by the artist to cater for their means, enabling the artist to create without distraction. The studio has now become a place of interchangeable meaning. Some artists prefer a clean white space, but others use it as an office; a place to organise production, facilitating fabrication to outside manufactures or to plan schedules for fieldwork.Hosted by Jack Duplock. Private View presents conversations with artists within their studio environment. Discussing the varied ways the studio impacts on their arts practice.

Private View #4: Charlotte Bracegirdle

March 12, 2020 • Jack Duplock

In Episode 4 Jack talks to the artist Charlotte Bracegirdle.

Charlotte is a London based artist who works in painting and sculpture. Working with found imagery often of familiar iconography. In her work she plays with ideas of perception, how we perceive imagery and take certain iconography for granted. By carefully painting out certain areas of the appropriated image, Charlotte puts into question our preconceptions of that image. Allowing us to look more carefully at the image and in turn creating a new one, letting us fill in the blank spaces with our imagination.

Charlotte gained an MA at Royal College of Art in 2006 and BA (Hons) Degree at Southampton institute in 1997.

Charlotte has shown her work at Cynthia Corbett Gallery, London; Schneider Hall Galleries, University of Louisville, Kentucky, USA; Opus Art Gallery, Newcastle; Aipad, New York; Eric Franck Fine Art, London.

Like Reece Jones and Will Martyr in the previous episodes, I’ve known Charlotte for a long time having studied with her in Southampton. We talk about how her art practice progressed over the years since graduating from Southampton including working in various studios and the move from Southampton to London.
