Charlotte Gerard, printmaker, is available for sale online and in our art gallery at Wychwood Art. Charlotte Gerrard says of her work: my inspiration from the natural world, nature is full of complexity and I love discovering the beauty in every detail and translating it onto the surface of the artwork. I am a true animal lover and strives to further the cause of animal welfare throughout much of my work.Subjects for my recent collection are hares and runner ducks and I am excited about this new body of work. Other subject matters that have inspired me recently include fruits, chillies, flamingoes, a toucan, as well as donkeys and elephants but one subject that remain very close to my heart are cows, especially the Indian street cows which I have been photographing and creating paintings from these images for more than 15 years. My work aspires to strike an empathic resonance with these characters as I translate their expression to canvas by manipulating the paint to create a dynamic and energetic picture. Having painted various breeds of cows over the years I discovered that the Indian cows completely lend themselves to my magnified use of colour and experimental ‘rangoli’, stencilling using powder pigments and sari patches borders purchased in the markets in Delhi and Jaipur. By setting the cows against a rich colourful background with patterns inspired by the fabrics I am depicting the reverence with which these imposing animals are treated in India.
