...Hodes is not only a painter: she is a builder. As a member of the post-conceptual generation, she plays with representation and questions the specific space where representation is usually performed. That is her ultimate miracle. Those women look different because in her work she questions what could possibly be the main problem in the history of painting: the basic issue is not what is represented but the space where it is represented..."

Extract from Setting the Surface Free by Estrella de Diego published for the exhibition catalogue Charlotte Hodes: Pattern in Painting, City Museum and Art Gallery, Stoke-on-Trent, 1997


Hodes was Associate Artist at The Wallace Collection, London in 2006 and exhibited "Fragmented Images" in 2007. The exhibition included ceramics and paper cuts inspired by works in the Collection.

"Charlotte Hodes is that unusual thing, a truly innovative artist - one who, through tjose unfashionable attributes of persistance, skill and technique, has found a highly individual way of working. Winner of the 2006 Jerwood Drwaing Prize, and trained as a painter, she has ... created a synthesis between the fine and decorative arts, which has resulted in a body of work that is intelligent, original and highly decorative."
