Charlotte Cuny

Digital Work
2020

A cold winter’s night is a moment to drown into one’s own memories…

This series is made from my usual process of painting from my own pictures and questions memory.

Dîner Blanc was made from a painting of a family Christmas dîner on which I digitally added snow. In French, we say « to have a white » to say we don’t remember something. It symbolizes a limit between what we remember and forget. It also questions what is shown and hidden and the relation between digital and painting.

Dîner bleu is the same original picture as for Dîner Blanc. The limit between visible and invisible is more connected to the original painting with a colour which could go out from it. It can symbolize how a single element of an original event becomes our memory of it.

 Charlotte Cuny is a French painter based in London.

She paints her memories from her own pictures which she deconstructs through traces and colours to express her emotions, perceptions and sensations, between deconstruction and abstract figuration.

She expands painting to other mediums such as digital prints, etching or creating combines.

Our current context led her to include ghosts in her work which symbolize us during the pandemic and are also a symbol for memories, always present without us noticing it.
