Charlotte Brisland

Charlotte Brisland is a contemporary painter living and working in Wales whose compositions often depict solitude and isolation, using ordinary motifs like trees or houses in quiet, unpopulated landscapes.  Her saturated, surreal palette engages Freud’s concept of the uncanny, highlighting how trauma distorts perception, making familiar scenes feel unsettling as repressed emotions emerge through colour and form.  Charlotte graduated from the Royal College of Art in 2004 and has exhibited in London, New York, Japan and Berlin. Her work is held in museums and private collections worldwide and has been featured in several publications, including Floorr Magazine, Create, and Friend of the Artist. Charlotte has won several awards including the category award for landscape painting in the Jackson’s painting prize 2018 and most recently first prize in the Beep Painting Prize 2024.
