Largo is a beautiful work by Charlotte Mayer which uses her signature method of casting bronze tines in an elegant twist to communicate, flight, power and lift as well as wax to add a surface texture as seen here.

Charlotte Mayer’s family came from Prague, moving to England in 1939. She studied at Goldsmith’s College at the young age of 16, and then went onto the Royal College of Art, where she was taught by Frank Dobson and John Skeaping who Mayer remembers encouraged his pupils to experiment with natural materials, a technique she used for the rest of her career.

During the 1970s Mayer returned to her interest in the natural world thanks to holidays taken with her family on Dartmoor. Her work developed into beautiful poised, serene forms inspired by pods, leaves, shells and ammonites, with movement becoming a significant characteristic of her work.

Mayer’s affinity with the natural world can certainly be seen in her outdoor sculpture where simple curves and subtle plays of light sit in perfect harmony with their natural surroundings. Her sculpture also works well in an architectural setting and she has been commissioned to create work for a number of commercial institutions including BNP Paribas, London. Mayer is represented in a number of other corporate, institutional and private collections in Europe, Japan, Hong Kong and the USA.
