Char Ketton (b. 1990, Nottingham, UK) is a UK-based artist working primarily in mixed media and paint on canvas. Her practice is autobiographical, intuitive, and deeply reflective—anchored in the raw, visceral process of painting as a response to lived experience. Drawing from her own life and physicality, Char explores themes of womanhood, motherhood, body image, ageing, and the quiet resonance between the female experience and the natural world—particularly the coastline.
Her paintings are sensitive and organic, often minimal in palette, with an emphasis on form, line, texture, and composition. Through subtle layers and gentle relief, her work engages with light and shadow, inviting viewers into a quiet space of personal reflection. Though deeply personal, Char’s pieces remain open-ended—encouraging unfiltered interpretation and introspection.
Originally trained in Fine Art, Char later studied Fashion Design, illustrating prints, footwear, and accessories for fashion houses. A trace of that background—attention to detail, contour, and silhouette—continues to ripple throughout her artistic practice.
