About the Item

Distant Dreams is an oil painting created using oil, acrylic, and gold leaf on canvas by British artist Charlotte Aiken. Aiken responds to her environment through her use of paint, working on both large and small scales to capture the space and sublimity inherent in nature. Her work explores the concept of the sublime. It considers how this idea can be interpreted within the context of contemporary culture, which is increasingly influenced by digital and virtual environments. Aiken employs decorating brushes to produce broad marks and gestures that highlight the imperfections and texture of her paintings. The act of swiftly and forcefully swiping the brushes is a crucial part of her process, enabling her to work rapidly, simplifying, and abstracting her source material. "Growing up on the Isle of Wight, the sea has always been a constant presence and source of inspiration in my life. This painting reflects my fascination with cloudscapes and the shifting moods of the ocean. It captures a quiet moment of reflection, part memory, part imagination, anchored in the distant horizon."
