24 FRESCOES PREVIEW

Terra Firma | March 2021

Terra Firma Demi 2, 2021, pigmented plaster on board, 120 x 80cm

WELCOME

We’re so excited for you to join us for the preview of our inaugural collection of 24 Frescoes.

Tell Me More!…

Every two months, we’ll be creating a limited edition series of 24 fresco panels in 3 sizes; individual original artworks created in pigmented plaster by Charles, inspired by a special narrative vignette and colour palette.
This is the very first collection, Terra Firma.

The Inspiration…

Terra Firma is an exploration of the tension between the sense of being grounded and centred versus feeling the need to seek and explore - something we feel is both personal and universal at the moment. For the palette and inspirational vignette we drew inspiration from Spanish earth, sky, heat, art and history. Everything from Catalonian art, to cacoa-questing conquistadors, ancient daubings from the Altamira caves, antique pavement tiles from Seville, and old rock formations of Los Mallos de Riglos.

The Colour Palette…

The Terra Firma colour palette includes: Burnt Sienna, Cinnamon, Burnt Umber, Cocoa, Dark Chocolate,
Pale Pistachio, Sky Blue, Slate Blue, Iced Blue White, Archive Paper, Old Paper, and Gold.

The Artist…

All of the pieces were created by Charles in intense windows of time in our Little Studio near Abergavenny.
More about Charles’ artistic practice and what inspires him can be found on The Artist page.

The Launch & Purchase Details…

The collection will be going live on Wednesday 24th March on our website.
