RCA graduate, Charlotte Bracegirdle has an impressive exhibition history including two solo shows at the Medcalf Gallery 2009 and Madame Lillie's gallery 2008. Her paintings have featured in Breaking New at the Five Hundred Dollar Gallery and Salon 08, Vine Space, London. She was shortlisted for New Contemporaries 07 and was the winner of the Beck's Canvas Award 2008. Based around the subtle traces we leave behind, Bracegirdle's works remove figures from well-known images, creating empty stages where only hints of past activity remain. Instead of a simple act of erasing, the artist sees this as an addition, layering another activity onto the same physical space. The resultant work is a conceptually and visually intriguing analysis of how human presence or absence colours our perception of a space.
