The Shape of You by Charlotte Mason Art in England
The Shape of You
Oil on canvas priced at £1,135. A large scale exploration of the use of colour in portraiture, partly inspired by Chuck Close. One side exploring the feeling of movement in a static frame by hand painting; the other half inspired by chuck close, using the colour mixed in to skin tone to create the unseen shapes in the facial structure- adding form and a third dimension in a 2d piece using only 2d shapes.
Meet the Artist
England, United KingdomI am 21, and an artist living in Lincoln UK. The bulk of my work is portraiture in oil paints, I love the movement of the paint and the opportunity it allows to introduce potentially unseen yet crucial colours to my art. My primary focus has always been oil portraiture however, I find myself intrigued by and keen to try new techniques. I have also painted floral and landscape paintings in oil as well as portraits in pencil and pen, experimenting with a multitude of mediums along the way. I therefore find myself open to and excited by the idea of something new whether that be painting a larger scale such as a mural or exploring new techniques and styles.
