Charlotte Greeven: Chromatic Couture

About Greeven

Her recent personal experience with breast cancer has had a significant influence on Greeven's work, changing her view of the human body. This transformative experience challenged her to explore her inner emotions, adding a deeper dimension to her work.

Inspired by light, movement and colour, Charlotte continues to develop her aesthetic. She started her painting career as a fashion designer, graduated from the Royal Academy of Arts in The Hague and has since practised her profession through various courses such as lighting design, multimedia art and scenography in Antwerp.

Chromatic Couture

Influenced by iconic couture houses such as Valentino, David Laport, Dior, Dries van Noten, and Alexander McQueen, 'Chromatic Couture' celebrates the meticulous craft of fashion. It invites the audience to witness a fusion of the extravagant and the intimate, where the interplay of light and colour creates a symphony of emotions and invites viewers to reflect on their own hidden beauty. Featuring see-through outfits, the portraits capture the sophistication and artistic flair associated with haute couture, bringing together fashion and art.

On Saturday 2 and Sunday 3 March, Charlotte will be in the gallery for a Live Portrait Event.

All of Charlotte's unique works and Limited editions are available for purchase at the I love Illustration Gallery Amsterdam. An exhibition catalogue will be available soon.
