The monstrous visions of Nina CharltonTOM LEE/STUFF Hamilton East artist Nina F Charlton's lifetime love of comic books and 1950s schlock horror movies has manifested in the creation of lurid and colourful artworks. Her exhibition titled The Lone Collective Art Show can be seen at Creative Waikato's headquarters in Alexandra St. If an artwork is the manifestation of an artist's influences, then the forces that led to the creation of Nina Charlton's lurid and humourous drawings and screenprints are plain to see. TOM LEE/STUFF "Most of my art is not to be taken seriously," Nina Charlton says. TOM LEE/STUFF The Creature from The Black Lagoon and other creepy creatures from decades past has informed Nina Charlton's style and subject matter.
