Charlotte Schleiffert belongs to a generation of Dutch artists who gained stormy visibility in the early 1990s with work that was as expressive as it was disarming and committed. She gained international fame with her unprecedentedly free and direct drawings and paintings with bright colours, imposing formats and unconventional use of materials.
In each case, the personal and the political are closely linked. Her desire for an ideal living environment is expressed above all in what Schleiffert refers to as ‘nature drawings’: seemingly lovely representations with floral and plant motifs. The protection of the living, and the equality of man and nature play a central role in Schleiffert's work. It is not difficult to see the ‘naturecultures’ she raises in her recent works as posthumanist blueprints for a less anthropocentric world order.
