Painting With Glass and Collaging Painting 


Kira Phoenix K’inan, who works with glass, was selected by Design Nation to show at Decorex in Olympia London, showing now. This exhibition “offers an unparalleled opportunity for the interior design community to discover exquisite creations from a range of international exhibitors.” 
 
Charlotte Brisland, a Master Artist, has just been showing at Thompson’s gallery in London. As well as maintaining her practice as a painter Charlotte works as a Fine Art painting lecturer at Aberystwyth University. She describes her process: “The paintings are built up of collages of places”; in them you may find echoes of de Chirico’s surrealism 

Our take on Kira’s work: 


Inspired by painters such as Kurt Schwitters and Umberto Boccioni she has developed her own unique style of low relief drawing that traces the line between sculpture and sketch. By carving directly into plaster sheets, K’inan has the rare ability to cast her artwork using very fine ground glass – rendering work that is, essentially, painting with glass.

Our take on Charlotte’s work: 


What’s emptier than an uninhabited landscape? An uninhabited landscape featuring an empty house, as Charlotte Brisland’s paintings often do. They evoke places that are no place, but a hybrid of real and imagined locations, in the vein of Edward Hopper and Andrew Wyeth.

Scenes spotlighted with shadowplay create heightened drama in the absence of human figures in Brisland’s work. Colours that strike one as transposed from TV amplify the sense of slipping between the literal and virtual. All this happens in the context of receding, attenuated space: a background or medium that seems uncompressed by the pull of gravity.
