Charlotte Snook was born in Middlesex and studied at Hornsey College of Art and the Royal College of Art where she received an MA in Painting.
Charlotte Snook combines her knowledge of art history and insight into human nature with a free-roaming imagination to create complex artworks. She takes Breugel, Poussin, Claude and 17th century Flemish art as a starting point for her paintings which can be as edgy as they are exquisite. Her art allows for the apocalyptic nature of the world. ‘They are concerned with a loss of paradise,’ Charlotte says. ‘It’s all about the painting: light, colour, contrast, the composition and brushstrokes. I try to set a narrative without there being one’.
A selection of her recent exhibition of paintings and drawings reflects Charlotte’s packed and varied career: she was asked to respond to the permanent collection of Hastings Museum and drew on the pastoral porcelain figures as well as the faces of Christian missionaries gazing out from early 20th century photographs. She painted landscapes and studio scenes in Verrocchio, Italy. Her work was included in Axis: London Milano alongside artists including the Chapman Brothers. She was invited to exhibit at Jerwood Gallery, Hastings as part of To Be Continued exhibition.
Charlotte’s work has been included in the Jerwood Drawing Prize from 1995–99, the Hunting Prize and the Garrick/Milne Prize. Solo exhibitions include Rare Affairs at the Basement Gallery, Boise, Idaho (USA), Hastings Museum and Art Gallery and St Anne’s Galleries, Lewes. In her academic career she has taught part-time at art schools and universities throughout England, and from 2001–9 was Senior Lecturer in Visual Communication (Foundation) at Central Saint Martins.

The painting, Svitato, incorporates digital printing, direct printing and hand painting in the same picture. I apply paint to fabric that has been printed with my own computer-generated compositions.
Figure/ground relationships are explored and painted shapes added to a surface of printed images that interweave: foreground with background, line and colour. printing and painting, scanned images and abstract shapes, to create a dynamic colour space and a rich metaphorical, pictorial identity. Digital printing, a rapid medium is related to the slow changing character of my paintings: intimate, accessible, mutable, hands-on and individually experienced.
