Palmer Gallery's final exhibition of the year is a solo presentation from Royal Academy Schools student Charlotte Winifred Guérard.
About
Charlotte Winifred Guérard’s practice is primarily concerned with testing the limitations of painting as an artistic format; a process she calls ‘painting beyond the frame’. In Matthew’s Boat, her solo exhibition at Palmer Gallery, Charlotte asks what painting is and what it can be, examining where the essence of the medium might lie. Is it the application of paint to a material; does its surface have to be a type of canvas; does it have to be stretched over wooden bars; or is the classification contingent on a work of art being wall-based? The elastic nature of artistic mediums, expressions and definitions means the answer is less important than the question. In Matthew’s Boat, Charlotte ponders these questions and experiments with painting as a form of installation, pushing the formal boundaries of an artistic discipline which is rarely disturbed.
