Charlotte Winifred Guérard's 'Cherry, cherry' at Palmer Gallery
The 'Cherry, cherry' exhibition at Palmer Gallery showcases the paintings of Charlotte Winifred Guérard. These pieces were crafted during her time at the Royal Academy Schools studios in the summer of 2025 and during a Xenia residency in the Hampshire countryside in spring 2026. Each artwork reflects Guérard's internal landscapes, merging thoughts, memories, and real-life experiences. The title captures the essence of the shift from spring to summer, where vibrant colors are heightened by intense light, reminiscent of the languid atmosphere in JJ Cale's 'Cherry,' which inspired the artist. The exhibition features works such as 'Esquise' (2025) and 'La Valse' (2025), which explore the interplay between materiality and perception, layering bold strokes while maintaining an abstract essence.
