Charlotte Hodes
Edit ProfileCareer
Charlotte Hodes is a British artist. At the Slade School under the Professorship of Lawrence Gowing, she was a student of Paula Rego, Stanley Jones and John Hoyland. Hodes’ practice is informed by her experience as a painter and is investigated through large scale papercuts which have been both digitally collaged and intricately hand cut, as well as ornately decorated ceramic vessels, tableware and glass.
Her iconography is centred on the female figure within a contemporary context depicted as a silhouette juxtaposed with motifs loaded with female associated references such as the vessel and skirt.
Her work questions hierarchies of the female figure as represented in art history, as a decorative motif and as being inextricably linked to the domestic. She draws upon the decorative and applied arts, fashion and costume, often using archives and collections as a source for projects.
In 2006 she was awarded the Jerwood Drawing Prize and in 2009 held a solo exhibition at Marlborough Fine Art She has participated in many group exhibitions both nationally and internationally including ‘Digital Responses’ Victoria and Albert Museum 2003, ‘Somewhere Totally Else’ Design Biennial, Design Museum London 2003, ‘Glasstress’ Palazzo Cavalli Franchetti 53rdInternational Venice Biennale 2009, ‘Inscription: Thinking/Drawing/Making’ Jerwood Space Gallery London 2010 and in 2012 featured in an exhibition at Number.10 Downing Street curated by Janice Blackburn. Hodes’ work is represented in many public collections including the Victoria and Albert Museum, British Council and Brighton Museum & Art Gallery.
She has lectured at numerous colleges in the United Kingdom and in 2006 joined the research department at London College of Fashion, University of the Arts London where she was appointed Professor in Fine Art in 2012.
She is the daughter of the landscape painter, Joan Hodes who studied at the Slade School (1945–1948) and was a pupil of Oscar Kokoschka.
