Linda Charles

Autumn 2009 saw Linda release a Landscape Collection of three tranquil waterside limited edition canvases.

Circa the noughties, she released her famous Modern Art Series and around this era she also produced a Sculpture Series, very unique at the time purple plate, vase & decanter and limited editions of just 195 copies each.

Linda describes herself as a contextual painter and views each composition as an imagination of some ‘interior landscape’ seen in her mind’s eye.

The artist is a firm believer in the relationship between colour and mood, allowing the two facets to blend effortlessly together, thus creating a range of emotive and pleasing hues that somehow edifying you, the viewer.

Unsurprisingly, Linda's background is in fashion and textile design and this profoundly underpins all her artwork, playing a pivotal part in the creation process of a new painting.

Her series of modern artworks from the noughties really put the artist on the map, with series of multi-colour circular, cuboid and rectangular images overlaid onto mountboard. Each artwork and limited edition print from the series was carefully built up, layer by layer, using acrylic & other materials (often offset by gold leaf), which gave a spectacular finish and heightened the colour intensity of the imagery.

Remaining at the forefront of ‘mixed-media’ published art for nearly twenty years, Linda has a large collector base and remains of the most recognisable names in UK Gallery contemporary wall space.

Many of Linda Charles’s paintings are in private collections throughout the UK, Europe and she also has many buyers in North America.

"I do not want the materials or the mediums I use to be too dominant; I want the colours & imagery to work together and communicate, leaving them open to interpretation of what is seen and felt'

The artist now lives in rural Hertfordshire, with the leafy countryside proving both artistic inspiration and important headspace for her work.

She has the distinction of being one of handful of artists (another being figurative artist Mark Spain) published by three major UK publishing houses over time: Demontfort Fine Art, Washington Green Fine Art and currently Buckingham Fine Art Publishers.
