Biography

[edit]

Born in Germany, Verity studied at the Slade School of Art from 1973 to 1977, receiving a prize in her final year.[1] In 1978, she was awarded a Boise travelling scholarship, which she used to study in Italy.[2][3]

Verity has participated in group exhibitions such as the John Moores Painting Prize, the Whitechapel Gallery Open, the Hayward Annual,[4] the Discerning Eye[3] and the Royal Academy’s Summer Exhibition.[5]

She has held solo exhibitions at Anne Berthoud Gallery[6] (1984, 1988, 1990), Browse and Darby[7] (1998, 2002, 2007), Purdy Hicks Gallery (2016),[8] the Garden Museum in London (2011 and 2018),[9] and the New Art Centre in Wiltshire (2019).[9]

In 2001, Verity joined the faculty of the Royal Drawing School in London, where she continues to teach.[10] In 2010, she was commissioned by Sir John Soane’s Museum to paint a portrait of its former director, Margaret Richardson.[11]

A monograph on her work, Charlotte Verity, was published by Ridinghouse in 2016, featuring texts by artist Garry Fabian Miller, art historian Paul Hills,[12] and artist Edmund de Waal.[13]

She has held residencies at institutions including the Towner Art Gallery in Eastbourne and the Garden Museum in London.[14][15][16]
