Charles Avery

"Charles Avery is one of the most exciting new artists to emerge in the UK in recent years. Born in Mull in 1973, Avery has worked across a range of different media – using large-scale drawings, models, diagrams and text – his work throughout being characterised by what has been described as 'formal beauty, humour and a spirit of philosophical enquiry.' His most high profile project to date was the epic 'Islanders', where, over a ten year period and inspired by his childhood on the Inner Hebrides, he described the topography and cosmology of an imaginary island."
