ARTIST PROFILE<br />
Charlotte Posner<br />
Charlotte Posner is a critically acclaimed London based artist whose sought<br />
after original artworks have featured in the Tate Modern, Christe’s and Saatchi<br />
Gallery among many others.<br />
Posner's highly collectable art pieces are all hand painted<br />
and explore desire in its many forms - combining fashion,<br />
branding, commodity, culture and art in a stylish and satisfying<br />
way. Her most famous pieces are undoubtedly her ‘Pop<br />
Dolls’ which she has created in thousands of forms including<br />
depicted brands such as Coca-Cola, Walls, Kelloggs, Nails<br />
INK and Disney. Her ‘Magnificent Girls’ were even featured as<br />
the new faces of Magnum UK.<br />
Posner has exhibited internationally; in Japan, Lahore, Hong<br />
Kong, New York and Singapore. Closer to home her painting<br />
‘The Theatre’ was accepted into the Royal Academy Summer<br />
Exhibition 2012. She also participated in From Morning<br />
Till Night, a special event for Katerina Šedá hosted by Tate<br />
Modern, and has since had works shown at Christie’s. Last<br />
year Charlotte also qualified as a Saatchi Gallery Drawing<br />
Competition Finalist. In addition, Charlotte’s artworks were<br />
featured on the BBC Culture Show in 2013.<br />
More recently Charlotte reimagined 45 Little Miss hand<br />
painted characters as part of the 45th birthday celebrations for<br />
the cult brand Mr Men and Little Miss.<br />
“We are really excited to be working with Charlotte and<br />
love her fun interpretation of the Little Misses,” said licensing<br />
manager Sabrina Segalov. “While bright and colourful, they are<br />
in keeping with her fine art background.”<br />
Charlotte studied at The Princes School of Traditional Arts<br />
before embarking on a Fine Arts degree at the Chelsea College<br />
of Art and Design, with a semester at The Emily Carr University<br />
of Art and Design in Vancouver.<br />
Charlotte said, “Being an artist is a way of life; we choose our<br />
path and make own choices, life has its ways of taking you to<br />
places you didn’t know existed. There are no limitations to our<br />
imagination.”<br />
