Charlotte Verity is an artist who has honed a lucid and highly specific visual process to attain truth in her work. Fastidious observation is at the heart of her practice. In contrast to the fleeting nature of her subjects, the paintings develop slowly and have a suggestion of deep space and the wider world.
Since graduating from the Slade, she has undertaken residencies including at Towner, Eastbourne; The Garden Museum, London and Flatford, Suffolk. She has been on the faculty of The Royal Drawing School since 2001. A monograph was published by Ridinghouse in 2016, and Echoing Green: The Printed Year was published in 2021 containing over 100 watercolour monotypes made during 2020-21.
For decades, she has immersed herself in nature either by painting and drawing out of doors or by bringing elements of it into her studio to observe. With this practical restraint she has cultivated a deep knowledge and intimate respect for the forms that she depicts, and in this way, the paintings track the seasons and the passing of time.
