Charlie Billingham often produces paintings, prints and site-responsive installations using expanded approaches to painting which reference the history of the British satirical print. Untitled is a continuation of this practice.
Produced in an edition of 125, each print is signed and numbered by the artist.
Charlie Billingham produces paintings, prints and site-responsive installations. He uses expanded approaches to painting that refer to the history of British Satirical print, both through their uses of graphic boldness and in their repeated appropriations of fractured imagery whose details quote Gillray, Rowlandson and a Hogarthian comic narrative tradition.
His distinctly anachronistic references are merged and layered with passages of abstract and decorative painting, other linear fragments that hint at contemporary cartoon culture and a playful positioning of both historical and modern props.
The clichés of Modernist tropes, mock expressive gesture along with a lightness of touch and a brightness of palate all suggest an awareness that is equally conscious of the multiple histories that inform his art, while being confident in the irreverently unique manifestations these combined influences generate.
All proceeds from the sale of RA Editions prints go directly to support the RA Schools.

This print is one of a suite of four small-scale works produced by RA Schools graduates to celebrate the opening of the Keeper’s House. Other works in the suite by Adham Faramawy, Michael O'Reilly and Nancy Milner are also available.
The RA Editions programme generates valuable revenue for the RA and in particular the RA Schools.
