Charlotte Trounce: Stillness in Motion at Morgans Gallery

Jul 30

Charlotte Trounce is showing new work at Morgans Gallery in Exhibition No.3 (July 5 – August 30, 2025), and it feels a bit like walking into a pocket-sized world that’s breathing quietly to itself.

Morgans Gallery has always been partial to the sort of art that rewards a long look, and Charlotte’s paintings are perfect for that.

Her style—clean, bright, but never antiseptic—turns the stuff of daily life into small-scale marvels. A tree outside a window, a corner of a kitchen, the way afternoon light collects on a wall: she makes them matter by refusing to overcomplicate them.

The colour work is especially alive. These are blocks and washes, yes, but never flat; they hold a kind of contained movement, like the hush of a room just after someone leaves.

Charlotte talks about trees as individuals, and you can see what she means. Her brush gives them quirks and gestures without spelling them out. Her eye leans toward the domestic and the botanical, but she pulls from design, too—her compositions have the thoughtfulness of someone who knows how objects relate in space.

If you’re looking for paintings that feel playful without being frivolous, here they are.
