With a loose stroke and vivid palette, Charlotte Ager captures fleeting moments from everyday life with sensitivity, empathy and humour. “I love that drawing has the ability to communicate the difficult and challenging whilst having enormous capacity for joy and silliness,” says Ager. Exaggerated proportions and clashing colours bring a childlike whimsy to the work. Faces lack details rendering her people, or rather the emotions embodied within them, universal. We can all connect to scenes of swimming in the local pool, waiting for the bus or sharing a meal with friends. No doubt, Monet, Morisot et. al. would be fans.
