Being

Creative visual thinking is fundamental to us all as human beings as we strive to understand our sense of self and the world. Chartwell seeks to deepen understanding about the importance of art and creative thinking for our future and our wellbeing.

Making

Chartwell supports artists as they make and think. Making is an active and connected process, involving the interaction of intention, intuition and intellect with the mediums of the world. Chartwell is making too - making a difference through philanthropy and enabling access to creative activities and research.

Paul Boston

Paul Boston investigates illusion and materiality through his abstract paintings and drawings. Utilising a muted palette and with an emphasis on negative space, the geometric forms of Boston’s paintings serve to confuse barriers and perception and unravel over time.

Born in 1952, Paul Boston graduated from art school in 1972. Following his studies, he travelled extensively through South-East Asia, where he developed an ongoing interest in Zen philosophy, which is one a host of subjects that inform his work.
