Charlotte Beaudry
1968
Lives and works in Brussels.
A self-taught artist, Charlotte Beaudry is first and foremost a painter, a practice she enriches with drawings, videos, performances and sculptures. Her work essentially questions the relationship between femininity and its representation, confronting her intimate experience with a broader social reality.
With a raw energy tinged with impertinence and mischief, Charlotte Beaudry explores a visual and sensitive repertoire drawn from post-punk cultures, gender studies and eroticism.
Charlotte Beaudry renews the possibilities of figurative painting, to which she brings formal invention and conceptual commitment, with small formats – suited to fine detail – and more monumental canvases characterized by surprising changes of scale.
At once invested in the materiality of painting and attentive to the ambiguities of image seduction, Charlotte Beaudry pursues a coherent and fiercely independent body of work that paints a subtle yet raw portrait of contemporary femininity.
