Char Ketton is an artist based in the UK, working primarily in mixed media and paint on canvas. She leans into vulnerability, honesty and reflection in her practice, allowing the process of painting to be a visceral response to her experiences. Drawing from her own life, she is inspired by womanhood, motherhood, body image and how the female experience seamlessly connects to the natural world, in particular, to the coast.
Char’s pieces are delicate, organic and minimal in palette with an emphasis on form, line, texture and composition. They are vulnerable and of personal expression, yet invite the viewer to form personal interpretations and, subsequently, unfiltered introspection.
Char studied Fine Art, and then crossed disciplines to study Fashion Design, illustrating prints, shoes and accessories for fashion houses. A thread from her fashion background still runs through her work.
