Char Ketton (b. 1990, Nottingham, UK) is a UK-based artist creating conceptual, abstract paintings and drawings, working primarily in mixed media relief, paint and pencil. Her work is autobiographical and reflective, documenting the shifting landscape and patterns of the body through slow, tactile processes, mark making and abstract form.

Drawing from her own experience of womanhood, motherhood, bodily cycles, and ageing, Char creates quiet, unfolding works guided by inward listening, material sensitivity, and time. Her work moves between body and landscape, where erosion, presence, and change find quiet reflection in the land and sea.

Working with a minimal palette, her paintings focus on form, line, texture, subtle relief, and organic mark making.

Char works intuitively with her materials, allowing process to unfold rather than directing it. Raw canvas, graphite, paint, and mixed media become part of an ongoing dialogue between hand, body, and material.

Originally trained in Fine Art, Char later studied Fashion Design, illustrating prints, footwear, and accessories for fashion houses. A sensitivity to contour, composition, and form continues to inform her practice as she builds a living body of work that evolves over time.
