Charlie Gosling's Haunting Portraits at Incubator Gallery
Charlie Gosling, a 2023 graduate of Camberwell College of Arts, presents his second solo exhibition 'Good Luck with Me Here' at London's Incubator gallery, on view until 24 May. His portraits, drawing comparisons to Frank Auerbach and Willem de Kooning, focus on friends and family, capturing admiration through an intimate process. Gosling's technique involves layering and scraping paint to create almost abstract swirls of color, a method he describes as additive rather than reductive. He cites influences from Auerbach, Cézanne, de Kooning, Soutine, and Rembrandt, but insists his work remains distinct. The exhibition is covered by Wallpaper* editor Hannah Silver.
