Charlotte Bertie

Lives & works in south east London, UK

​

She explores notions of materiality and physicality, in a performative practice that encompasses visual art work and social arts practice. Bertie makes solo and group performance works, drawings, paintings and sculptures.

Understanding the body as a site and vehicle of protest Bertie explores embodied encounters, and the power dynamics and complex narrative structures of group interactions. She is interested in the spaces and behaviours created by the inhabiting or embodying of these dynamics and structures.

The motivations, personas, utterings and gestures of pleasure structure the works, and prompt the uncomfortable and oscillating position between private and the public spheres.
