Rae Birch Carter is an artist whose work incorporates the human face and body within a contemporary context. Working expressively, with freedom and spontaneity, Rae works with print, paint, drawing and collage. Mainly working on paper, she likes to reflect our screen based culture in a playful and instinctive way; often contrasting the slickness of those online spaces with the unpredictability of monotype printing and torn up collage. Rae is interested in the pressures, pleasures and the isolation that often come along with this online world that so many of us are now participants in. She is particularly interested in the ordinary people who for have chosen to take part in reality television shows..The heightened emotional states induced in them for our entertainment; their combination of knowingness and vulnerability. She visually explores the very transitory, yet intense sympathy and connection we feel whilst watching them perform in this modern day, gladiatorial arena. Rae is a self taught artist who lives and works in East London. Shortlisted in 2022 for The Trinty Buoy Wharf drawing prize, The ING Drawing Bursary 2022 and 2023 Selected for the Royal Watercolour Society 2023 And for Exeter Contemporary Open 2023 Awarded the NEAC Scholarship 2023 Rae was awarded the Artichoke Print Prize at Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair in 2023
