LA MER ART LESSON

"Charlotte Posner is a London-based illustrator, she creates great art work and is hugely popular for her Pop Dolls series. These ‘dolls’ run right through her work and she dresses them in branded content sometimes as commissions, and she sometimes paints their clothes out of beauty products. Charlotte even once dressed them in Irish biscuits, you’ve never seen a Kimberly, Mikado or Coconut Cream look so glam! Her art caught the eye of our very own Brown Thomas, and for the last two years she has produced an exclusive and affordable for the Marvel Room the last two Christmases producing prints, phone covers, stationery and more. Here’s what’s happening on Saturday with La Mer and Charlotte so dig out your best pencil!"

"We have a wishlist for Santa this year and some luxury Christmas gifts are on our minds, if we get even one of these we will be thrilled! There is so much on offer, it feels as though Black Friday, Cyber Monday and the festive season are rolling from one into another. But if we could choose just one lust-worthy present this year, it would be one from this list."

THE COLLECTION

"What do you want people to get from your work? There is work which I do for myself, it's like writing a diary out loud. And work, which I like creating, driven by myself and the audience have an influence. It's great when other people have connected with my work, I can still make work that I wake up and enjoy making. Do you think art brings people together? Yes, art connects people visually, making it global. People, wherever they come from, whatever they do or whoever they are, can have a feeling or opinion on art. It's subjective. Art has always and will always be a talking point socially and culturally. "

TALK EDITOR

"If you are looking for the perfect gift and love art, then look no further! Talk Editor caught up with Charlotte Posner, a London-based contemporary artist, known for her vivacious hand-painted Pop Dolls artwork and beautiful illustrations. ​ A graduate in Fine Art from The Chelsea College of Art and Design, Charlotte uses her art to transcend barriers that divide us and bring joy. In 2014, she created a Twitter storm with the launch of her vibrant Pop Dolls paintings. Coca-Cola, Walls, Kellogg's, Nails INC and Disney all complimented the work and one piece later became the creative for the Magnum UK social media platforms. ​ Charlotte has been featured as in-house artist at Louis Vuitton, Crème de la Mer and Japanese cosmetics brand Shiseido and has exhibited in Hong Kong, Los Angeles, Japan, New York and Singapore. Her work has also been showcased in various art institutions, such as Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, Tate Modern or Saatchi Drawing Competition. ​ In this interview, Charlotte shares how she became a full-time artist, why she thinks dyslexia is a challenge and a gift, her best pieces of advice for aspiring artists, and much more!"

TALENTED LADIES CLUB

"What was your brand’s USP? My unique selling point was creating a distinctive fun image and collaborating with major brands. I alter and adapt the context of consumer products for example brands like baked beans don’t usually see their food as hair piece! That’s my unique selling point. I simply take modern day contemporary subject matter and put them into my pop dolls. Who’s your target audience? My work appeals to all ages and doesn’t need a language to understand; I want anyone to love my work. How do you spread the word about what you do? Social media platforms have allowed me to show my work instantly and express myself as a character to an audience. I post consistently and whilst working I’m always showing the process and the story behind the brand."

UNDERPINNED MAGAZINE

"New graduates will find that building a career on the back of artistic talent often involves taking some unexpected turns and can mean channelling that talent into creative industries outside of the art world, or combining it with the entrepreneurial nous to create their own platform for success. London-based artist Charlotte Posner is one artist who has certainly excelled in this latter category by collaborating with major brands and fashion labels and going on to set up her own company selling a gifting collection of merchandise decorated with her art. Posner admits that after graduating from Chelsea College of Art and Design she was “worried about getting her artwork out there.”"

"Choosing the perfect Christmas gift for that special lady in your life can be a daunting task. Fear not! We’ve pulled together some fabulous gift ideas to help make her Christmas as special as possible. From killer heels to luxury gift sets, scents and jewellery, we guarantee there is something here every woman will love."

"On realising that Charlotte lived locally, I made contact to meet with her and get to know more about her work. I also have to confess that the thought of seeing Charlotte’s artwork in real life was going to be a real swoon worthy opportunity. Charlotte is the daughter of the Posner family that own the Interior Design business in South Woodford. Charlotte’s father took over the running of the business 65 years ago from his own father and the shop has been on our High Street for many years. So, a very creative family. I met Charlotte at her home where she was working on an artwork commission for a customer in Germany."
