Overwhelmed by the positive respons to my solo show ‘Affect’, sold out in less than a week! To Kitty Clark, so grateful for the opportunity to show my work at your beautiful gallery Saint Cloche.

Interview The Design Files | ‘Artist Charlotte Swiden’s Solo Sydney Exhibition Is A Love Letter To Connection’

A lovely write up on The Design Files about the work behind my show ‘Affect’ 💌 showing Saint Cloche Gallery. […] Since moving from her home country to Australia in her mid-20s, she’s become intimately familiar with how relationships can transcend time and borders, and wanted to ‘capture the essence of that’ in her paintings. ‘Physical distance doesn’t mean that we don’t have our people with us. Sometimes we bond stronger,’ she adds. ‘Over time I have started to feel more assimilated [to Australia] and also more separated. I think much of my work has been a reflection on that interplay and conflict…

‘Affect’ Solo Exhibition at Saint Cloche

So excited to share the most wonderful news with you! My first solo show AFFECT with @saint_cloche is happening in just a week (March 1st). The last couple of years I have found myself reflecting on; ‘What is home?' Our cultural and physical spaces constantly changing through life, yet some people will always be ‘home’ to us. There are the friends that journey with us, and the ones that we carry in our hearts. I’ve been pondering the beauty of that human connection transcending time and borders. I wanted to capture the essence of that wonder in my paintings. And…

Now Represented by Saint Cloche, Sydney

Saint Cloche "We are delighted to welcome to our stable Charlotte Swiden a Swedish artist and designer living in the Mornington Peninsula (Boonwurrung), and can’t wait to reveal her upcoming solo presentation. Charlotte’s work has been greatly influenced by her Scandinavian heritage and love of nature. Her disciplined approach to composition and colour, honed as a graphic designer, transmutes into something like an inner landscape in her expressive paintings that pulsate with motifs of luminous figures and intimations of the natural world rendered in a muted earthen palette. Her forms shaped by the interplay of two identities, two cultures and…

The Makers : Interview on Bedthreads journal

A lovely interview up on Bedthreads today: "Growing up, Charlotte Swiden always knew she wanted to be an artist. But like so many other creative types she didn't think this was a viable career option. Fast forward to now and this narrative has flipped, with the Swedish-born painter successfully turning her passion into a full-time job with her artworks highly sought after across the country. And while we often contemplate artists through their divine work, we less frequently think of them in their respective homes. Charlotte's Mornington Peninsula abode is a beautiful example of being conscious about what you buy for your home. Her '70s-style home in Dromana is filled almost…
