We meet painter Charlotte Keates within her new installation ‘Inner Landscapes’ on the Terrace at Hermès New Bond Street. We discover the inspiration behind her epic new commission and explore her lifelong passion for drawing and painting.

Keates was born in 1990 in Somerset, United Kingdom, and currently lives and works in Guernsey. She received her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Falmouth University. Her paintings gently weave together impressions of space and structure with subtle narratives, often emerging through the interplay of distinctive colors and carefully placed objects. #AD

These scenes do not depict real places but rather reflect traces of memory and quiet moments of perception. The spaces she constructs are imagined, yet the emotions they carry feel genuine and immediate. Without relying on overt storytelling, her works convey a calm presence and a quiet tension. As art historian Marco Livingstone observed, “the highlighted area acquires a hypnotic presence, as if spotlit into existence from within an atmosphere of ambiguous limitless space.”
