Beach Windows

Beach Windows by Charlotte De Pace

This original abstract painting is inspired by seaside getaways and the calming influence of the ocean and coastal landscapes. The beach environment evokes a sense of escape from the everyday; inhaling salty air, listening to the rhythm of the waves, lying on the sand and dreaming of the endless possibilities the future may hold. Created in Charlotte's distinctive hard-edge style, this colourful painting draws on physical elements of coastal landscapes (the sea, cliffs, horizon etc) to form an uplifting abstract composition. This work expresses Charlotte's ongoing fascination with layering and juxtaposing vivid colour to play with opposing ideas of transparency and solidity, simplicity and complexity

Beach Windows is hand-signed on the front and back and is ready to hang with wire attached. Please note, this painting is UNFRAMED - careful attention has been paid to the sides of the canvas (see picture in gallery images) so it doesn't require framing but for an extra special finish, Charlotte recommends professional framing in a timber floating frame (such as the examples in the gallery images) and can be arranged through Bluethumb by selecting from the framing options.

Charlotte’s artistic practice is driven by a desire to find and express a brighter side of life. Aware of the emotive power of colour and harmonious composition, she embraces a vibrant palette and finds inspiration in nature, distilling it to its purest forms to create abstract compositions. Rainbow arcs are a recurring symbol throughout her artwork, chosen for their association with hope and peace as well as their visual versatility to create interesting and unexpected forms. Through layering and juxtaposing rich, vivid colour, Charlotte gives strength and luminosity to overlapping shapes and shadows evoking a sense of harmony, simplicity and joy.

Art and art making have always been an integral part of Charlotte’s life. Following her university studies (Bachelor of Visual and Performing Arts, VCA, and Master of Art Curatorship, University of Melbourne), she enjoyed a career in exhibition management and curatorship. Over the last few years, she’s focussed on her own professional artistic practice drawing on her passion for colour and developing a distinctive abstract style.
