PROPOSAL OF ARTWORK for Trident Trust Company Ltd.
Charlotte Cornish
Artist's Statement I have always found inspiration from places I have visited. I often use photographs as an initial starting point for my compositions, but my paintings are not representations of places, but a mixture of elements from the seen world, and my own emotional responses and experience. I am fascinated by the qualities of paint, the unending possibilities of colour and colour relationships, and the potential this has to create connections and reactions. Acrylic paint is my preferred medium as this dries relatively quickly, allowing me to build up many layers of thinly poured paint, contrasting with directly applied, thicker marks. I wait until the paintings are dry before applying subsequent new marks. This allows me to remove or modify painted areas, without affecting the preceding layers. The paintings take about eight weeks to complete. My prints are all Limited Edition Original Prints. The screen prints and lithographs have been made from a series of my own hand painted stencils, one for each colour printed. The resulting image exists only in its printed form. There is no ‘original’ from which the print has been copied.

The prices quoted are for print only. We can obviously frame them for you but the cost will depend on the frame chosen. As a rough guide for an average priced frame, I would estimate between ÂŁ100-ÂŁ150.00 each. These are the prints I would recommend going on the information you shared with me. Framed with a mount, these prints will probably be approximately 20cms larger on both height and width on the size of the print. If you require further information or these are not quite what you are looking for please contact me and I will endeavour to help.
