Orbs

There is an initial elemental simplicity in the construction of Charlie’s paintings – a simple circle in a square. On closer inspection this expands to a dense, multi-surfaced orb within a never-ending void. The result is spell-binding. Set against the blackest of black squares or the vast emptiness of space are immensely detailed, finely textured and vividly coloured orbs. The complexity of the orb’s surface is more starkly highlighted because of the total lack of information in the blackness beyond.
