Charlotte Keates 於 1990 年出生在英國薩默塞特郡,並於康沃爾郡的法爾茅斯大學取得美術學士,目前居住與創作於根西。
Keates 的作品靈感源自室內設計、旅遊、建築結構,並將他們與自然界元素完美融合。樹木穿過平坦的水泥,而視角在片狀玻璃之中延展。這些現代休閒的畫面讓人感覺進入一個空置不久的空間,戲劇性地展現了靜態,但同時也透過技法與藝術性暗示著人類活動及環境中的動態。
「我所畫的室內環境是完全虛構的——我對建築非常感興趣,比如室內的某個角度或者空間結構。我不一定會在腦中建構出室內環境,而是從一個啟發我的元素開始,讓畫面自行發展。有一種期待卻又靜止的感覺,彷彿是凝結於時間的某一刻,記住某個地點或物件的瞬間。我想表達的正是這種脆弱和不堪一擊的感覺,就像是等待某件事情發生或者浮現。」
倘若如凱文.林區於《城市的意象》(1960)一書中所述,建築物是「空間的建設」,是一種「時間的藝術」,那麼 Keates 的作品則充滿幾何與梯形的意象,將許多的水泥建築化為幾何圖形。Keates 的作品橫跨不同領域,藉由「超越感官」以及更多「尚待發掘」的場景、角落、面向,觀者將被無可言喻的恬靜、寬敞的景象所震撼。
Charlotte Keates 自 2022 年起與亞洲藝術中心合作展出多次,2025 年起成為亞洲藝術中心代理藝術家,重要聯展包括「Unseen Topographies: Tobe Kiu Sin Kan & Charlotte Keates」(2026,亞洲藝術中心,台北)、「心象/外相:國際當代繪畫特展」(2025,朱銘美術館,台北)、重要藝博會之參與包括「Art Collaboration Kyoto」(2025,京都)。
