About the Item

Valeria Oil Painting and Gold Leaf on Claire Fontaine Paper Portrait In Stock Candace Charlton Born in Durban, Natal, 1968 - South Africa Attended the Johannesburg School of Art, Ballet, Drama and Music from 1983 until 1986. Having received two scholarships she continued her studies at the Rhodes University in Grahamstown where she finished her Bachelor of Fine Art, majoring in Sculpture and Art History. During this period she took part in various exhibitions and competitions: In 1989 she exhibited in Port Elizabeth at the Eastern Province Society of Fine Art and again in 1992 where she was awarded with the Eisteddfod Floating Trophy for the best work in the category of figure drawing. She also took part in the Standard Bank Young Artists Award Competition in 1990. After her graduation she became a member of the Artist’s Market Association in Johannesburg and the Magnolia Artist’s Market in Pretoria participating in monthly open-air exhibitions (art markets). In 1997 her work attracted the attention of the Elizabeth Gordon Gallery in Durban. There Candace participated in solo and group exhibitions. Since 2000 she has been living and working in The Netherlands and is represented by Morren Galleries. The combination of abstract and figurative features in her paintings speaks to a wide variety of people. Her work is also often presented at art fairs like Realism Amsterdam and the Open Art Fair in Utrecht. The human form is the main focus in Charlton’s work. She strives to discover and reveal the mystery and depth of the human psyche in her intensively studied portraits and figurative compositions. In recent years the landscape has also begun to appear in her paintings. Her love of rendering a mood and atmosphere finds a new expression using nature as her subject matter. She exhibits regularly at Morren Galleries and in South Africa.

    By Martin Fuller
    Located in Surfside, FL
    Martin Fuller was born in 1943 in Royal Leamington Spa and his initial studies were at the local Mid–Warwickshire College of Art, from 1960–62. ‘Mid–Warwickshire College was very good’, he says; ‘they taught drawing, and I was a natural image maker, but I wasn’t necessarily a natural drawer. They made me draw objectively. In a way it’s quite beautiful to have gone through that rigour and not to have one’s creativity made dead’. He moved to London in 1962 to attend Hornsey College of Art, where he became ‘more sybaritically cultured’, then was awarded the Guggenheim–McKinley Scholarship to Italy in 1964. He was in Positano for just under a year and says that it changed his life: in those days there was a thriving artists and writers community, long before the tourist invasion: ‘Although it was the beginning of the supposed swinging sixties, London was still fairly dour, so then I went to Italy with its food culture and more emotional openness…I remember watching a traffic policeman in white jodhpurs and a white hat pinching a girl’s bottom. It was a wonderful revelation of a different way of life’. The Italian light, which was ‘very different from Camden Town’, also influenced his art. When he returned from Italy he took a job at Hornsey, painted portraits, and then in 1968 had his first one–man show at the Arnolfini gallery in Bristol, which he reckons at that time was probably the best provincial art gallery in Britain. He continued to exhibit widely throughout the 1970s and ’80s. 3cIn 1991 he spent a year as Artist in Residence at Santa Fe in New Mexico. Five years later he won the Discerning Eye Modern Painters Prize and also won first prize in the Hunting Art...

  • Sloth, From the Seven Deadly Sins Series, Nude Figures, Oil on Watercolor Paper
    By David Becker
    Located in Chicago, IL
    Seven deadly sins are the seven vices that spur other sins and further immoral behavior. First enumerated by Pope Gregory I (the Great) in the 6th century and elaborated in the 13th century by St. Thomas Aquinas, they are pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, and sloth. Each of these can be overcome with the seven corresponding virtues of humility, charity, chastity, gratitude, temperance, patience, and diligence. It is clear that as a subject matter, David Becker prefers the seven deadly sins to the virtues!
