Footnote
Charlotte Keates graduated from Falmouth University and was talent spotted by numerous galleries at her degree show. Charlotte describes her work as 'architectural, dystopian, dreamscapes'. They combine the geometry of technical blueprints with the Pop-ish colours and clean lines of mid-century American architecture, bringing to mind the aesthetics of Frank Lloyd Wright and David Hockney. Always free of figures, the works possess an emptiness which intrigues and at times unnerves. Having swiftly achieved artworld recognition, Keates recently collaborated with fashion house Hermes, creating 10 window displays, marking a new level of exposure for this popular young British artist.
