Charlotte Culot

Charlotte Culot born in Belgium into a family of artists.
From childhood, drawing was part of her universe.
At the same time as university studies in Archeology and History of art, she discovered photography.
Passionate about materials and colors, she embarked on research into walls throughout the world. Her eye was formed and shapened by this contact: structure of space, chromatic enrichment, a taste for detail leading to abstraction: all these elements were to be the source from which she would draw inspiration for future work as a painter.
In 1988 she qualified in Archeology and History of art with a thesis on traditional earth vernacular architecture in West Africa.
In 1990 she began to paint.
Using mainly brown kraft paper to work on , she refound the gouaches, pigments and pastels from her childhood. Her taste for materials and textures led her onto the technique of collage. In time , colour has become the structural-subject space and major theme of her quest.
”Subject-object” gradually gives way to what might probably appear beyond or the “emerging force” through the bias for the color and material.
Since 1990, Charlotte Culot exhibits in europe and since 1994 in the USA.

Charlotte Culot was born in Belgium in 1964 into a family of artists. From childhood, drawing was part of her universe. At the same time as she was pursuing university studies in Archeology and the History of Art, she discovered photography.

Her eye was formed and sharpened by this contact: structure of space, chromatic enrichment, a taste for detail leading to abstraction: all these elements were to be the source from which she would draw inspiration for her future work as a painter.

In 1988 she qualified in Archeology and History of Art with a thesis on traditional earth vernacular architecture in West Africa.

In 1990 she began to paint. Working primarily with brown craft paper, she rediscovered the gouaches, pigments and pastels from her childhood. Her taste for materials and textures led her to the technique of collage. In time, colour has become the structural-subject space and major theme of her quest. Subject-object gradually gives way to what might probably appear beyond the bias of the color and material.

Charlotte Culot has exhibited in Europe since 1990 and in the United States since 1994.
