Charlotte Lane

Painter

I have been working with paint professionally for over fifteen years. A training in theatre design preceded a busy career as a Theatrical Scenic Artist in London’s West End. Working with some of the best scenic artists in the world I created huge scale backcloths and murals for many famous venues.

A move to Asia inspired a change in direction, and I felt empowered to exhibit my own personal work. My debut series of paintings ‘Singapore Skies’ are large scale ethereal abstract cloudscapes. Each piece inspired by the incredible sky high architecture of Asia and the dramatic tempestuous climate. The work is both dramatic and tranquil, mindful and meditative. I’ve continued to experiment with the drama of nature, creating crashing waves and glorious full moons.

My years as a scenic artist has taught me to be bold, ambitious and confident when working with paint. I delight in the magical transformative quality of working with layer upon layer of colour, pigment and tone. I’m inspired by the glory of nature’s elements and the drama of the skies. . My work is an instinctive, sensorial, tactile experiment where the colour does the talking and I merely allow the images to reveal themselves.
