Charlott Weise

 

 

 

Charlott Weise’s (b. 1991, Görlitz, Germany) practice reflects upon how femininity is performed across a range of cultural fields, from historical figurative painting to literature and the mainstream media. As a form of intuitive image-based writing, Charlott’s paintings image rich interior worlds, spaces with a narrative mise-en-scène, where female archetypes find themselves slipping between, in and out of, thick plotlines both banal and bombastic.

 

 

 

Education. Charlott was a participant at De Ateliers (Amsterdam) in 2016. Previously, she studied at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie (Amsterdam), as well as studying under Class of Prof. Christian Macketanz, at Hochschule für Bildende Künste Dresden, and the artist Heike Dittrich, in Bautzen (Germany).
