Charlotte Pearce (b. 2002, Surrey) is a London-based oil painter that utilises a convergence between photography and painting to engage with the power of the image and its representation of the other. Her practice is supported and prompted through handling art theory and historical technique, using research as a method of production. A broad scope of academic research is pursued, interweaving art history and philosophy to establish a framework for juxtaposing the past with the present. This approach facilitates an understanding of how images are engaged with, interpreted, and employed in contemporary society.
