Charles Avery

Working across a range of media, Avery’s art is characterised by formal beauty, humour and a spirit of philosophical enquiry. Avery’s most high profile work to date is his ongoing Islanders project, in which over a ten-year period he has described in drawing, painting and sculpture the topology and cosmology of an imaginary island, inspired by his childhood living in the Inner Hebrides. Avery was born in Oban, Scotland and is based in London. At the time of the exhibition he was represented by doggerfisher/Susanna Beaumont, Edinburgh; Galleria Sonia Rosso, Turin and Galeria S.A.L.E.S, Rome.
