Charlie Dutton
Charlie uses alternative photographic techniques and paint in his art practice and has exhibited in various shows in UK and China.
He ran a successful Art gallery (Charlie Dutton Gallery) in Central London for 5 years exhibiting over 400 artists before moving to Beijing working on various curatorial projects.
Whilst China has provided his recent inspirations and attentions, his fundamental ideas are taken from non-visual orientation, perception and touching, and the related constructs of Phenomenology, such as human reactions to our surroundings and as he describes the "in-between senses”. His works are abstract, layered and intelligent; “My interest concern the connections between media, layers, texture and imperfections. I'd like the viewer to touch the work with their eyes".
Materials and the process of making work are central to Charlie's objectives. Whist in Beijing Charlie has been developing new ideas with light sensitive materials such as Cyanotype, Chemigrams and Photograms; “I’m interested in how the art becomes physical as well as a poetic recorder for its surroundings. Cyanotype is UV sensitive paint which is exposed to the sun, so automatically the work becomes a heterogeneous part of our environment, as with colour and photosynthesis, or time and erosion in our landscape.”
