Charlotte Gibbs’ paintings of flags, such iconic Pop cultural symbols as the Coca-Cola logo, and the stark geometric forms identified with the Bauhaus and Minimalism startle our expectations of such classic imagery with with their incongruous execution in the very formal mediums of 23-karat gold leaf and oil. Consistently to be found in Gibbs’ gorgeous and luxurious works is the artist’s keen knowledge of the history of art and her love of referencing it, plus a subtle sense of humor that results in paintings often whimsical, astute, and endearing.
