Description

Charlotte Dent, born and raised in Cheshire, is an artist whose practice is concerned with challenging the act of looking upon women, attempting to characterise this in her paintings by using the uncomfortable qualities of the uncanny to portray the viewer caught in an act of voyeurism.

Charlotte really found her calling towards creating feminist artwork during her time studying Fine Art at Lancaster University, in which she graduated from in 2025. Inspired by the great feminist artists of the 1970’s such as Cindy Sherman and Francesca Woodman, Charlotte aims to take back control over the perception and objectification of the female form within art.  Her distinctive use of blues and greens with a contrast of red transforms the traditionally warm and homely connotations of a domestic space into an uncanny and sinister one. This divisive gesture is a provocative act, intended to implicate the viewer in a self-conscious way; to challenge the viewer’s preconceptions of what it means to gaze at a woman within a piece of art.
