Charlotte Moore : Special Exhibition November - December 2011
Detail, The Artist's Museum, acrylic on wire mesh 75cm x 90cm
The Gallery on St. James’ Street presents work by Charlotte Moore
A changing exhibition highlighting new developments in Charlotte Moore’s work over the past two years. The show features Charlotte’s unique mesh pictures and carborundum prints, complimented by paintings relating to the mesh pictures in style and subject. The mesh works will feature at the outset of the show; in the following weeks more prints (framed and unframed) will be added, along with small wire mesh and painted three-dimensional constructions - light hearted and colourful and not very expensive, they are perfect for gifts.
Students in the fine art course at Bath Spa University will be assisting Charlotte in the gallery, gaining experience related to their course work, and learning about preparation, publicity, hanging, labelling, pricing, and dealing with members of the public.
This exhibition will be worth visiting more than once between now and Christmas because the show will evolve over the seven weeks in a changing display of paintings, prints and three dimensional pieces with a good range of sizes and prices.

Recent Exhibition: Empty Chairs
A collaborative exhibition of prints by Charlotte Moore and sculptures by furniture maker Martin Kalberer was held at the Bath Artists’ Studio Gallery 19th - 22nd May 2011.
The commonplace chair is easily taken for granted in everyday life. But to see the chair simply as a piece of furniture is to overlook its metaphorical and allegorical power.

Mesh Paintings
In these new painting constructions, semi-transparent layers of paint on wire mesh enrich the colours and confound the eye.
While drawing on the rich traditions of art history, these thoroughly modern painting constructions evoke the pixel-based modulation of digital imagery.
The Catalogue below includes selection of Charlotte’s inventive and intriquing wire mesh pictures, along with more traditional paintings and prints.
The subject of my work is art itself ... I like to make my paintings ambiguous, to slow down the time it takes to look at them. Recently I have been using wire mesh as my ‘canvas’. The layers of painted mesh make semi-transparent layers of colour to construct a relief which can be amorphous in shape, free from the confines of the traditional canvas. Light passes through the mesh, creating shadows, textures, and depth. New techniques and experiments create new ideas.
Publications
