Charlotte Lethbridge. Brico Studio

About

Brico Studio is a grouping of objects made from the remnants of the artist’s studio practice. Typically, the time an artist spends in the studio manifests into a selection of objects, carefully curated to present to the viewer. Lethbridge’s paintings are the central focus of her practice, though she considers the materiality of a canvas to be as important as the image depicted on its surface. It is this consideration for material that led to the creation of these correlated objects.

Averting focus from the paintings Lethbridge traditionally exhibits, this project highlights all that falls through the cracks during the creative process — the riff raff, the castoffs, the unpresentable. Components include fabric scraps, old wood, leftover paint, and flotsam and jetsam collected along the way.

Charlotte Lethbridge is a Los Angeles based artist. With a primary focus on painting, she processes memories by revisiting landscapes and objects through her work. Material is a common thread in Lethbridge’s practice, typified in canvases built from scratch and repurposed fabrics. Lethbridge received her BFA from The School of Visual Arts. She has had solo shows with Deborah Berke Projects and Post Gallery Zurich and has been in group shows with My Pet Ram, White Columns, Triggering DJ Gallery, and Test Site Projects.
