“We must learn from the past, stay focused in the present and remain hopeful for the future”
Charlotte Elizabeth

Charlotte Elizabeth Roberts is a visual artist and photographer whose work recontextualises historical ideas and beliefs into imagery and interactive experiences.
The works tell stories of love, loss and understanding emotions. Primarily working in print, type and found objects, her style employs a thoughtful response to both personal and wider issues surrounding romanticist and classical philosophies.

The artist considers the idea that culture could replace religious scriptures as a moral compass for achieving self-actualization.The works explore the role of ritual and meditation throughout history which is expressed through the environment in which the work is made.

In a personal battle between the romantic and the classical, Charlotte Elizabeth considers these two polar ideologies and how through her practice she can merge the two to create the post-romantic culutral era that lies ahead of us.

Her most recent work has explored the role of the bartender as a raconteur. In creating a bespoke cocktail menu that provokes intrigue and reminiscence, the aesthetic, taste and smell, gives the bartender the ability to create an atmosphere of their choosing.
