About this episode

Our third episode features artist, Charlie Russell, in conversation with Kildine de Saint Hilaire. Charlie Russell, a London-based artist, explores themes of light, memory, and domesticity through a blend of traditional painting and digital aesthetics. With an MA in Painting from the Royal College of Art (2024) and a BA from Camberwell College of the Arts, University of the Arts London (2023). Charlie's work challenges conventional living spaces by transforming organic shapes into indeterminate forms. Also, her art captures the emotive power of light, from sunlight warming concrete structures to streetlamp glow refracted through raindrops, reflecting on its transformative influence on personal narratives. Tune in to this podcast before Charlie's residency at Casa Santa Ana in Panama.
