Editor's Notes
- #2ย Bryan Charnley Bryan Charnley was an artist whose work vividly portrays the effects of schizophrenia.ย Bryan Charnley intended his work to show the common humanity of the sufferer and how the artist can transform the most negative situations into the basis for creative inspiration. Bryan Charnley was born on 20th September 1949 in Stockton on Tees. ย With his twin brother he grew up in London, Chiselhurst in Kent, Cranfield, where his father worked as a Senior Lecturer and finally in Bromham in Bedford. In 1967, aged 17 he suffered a nervous breakdown but was able to study at Leicester School of Art in 1968. He gained as place at Central School of Art and Design in Holborn, London in 1969 but was unable to complete the course due to another breakdown later diagnosed as acute schizophrenia. From 1971 until 1977 he lived at home with his parents between periods of hospitalisation and treatment including ECT. In 1978 he moved to Bedford and began painting. The first paintings were representational works including large flower paintings. From 1982 onwards his work began to address his inner life, dreams and mental states particularly the nature of schizophrenia. In 1984 four of his paintings were purchased by the Bethlem Royal Hospital for their permanent collection. He had a solo exhibition at the Dryden Street Gallery, Covent Garden in London 1989 and exhibited two paintings at theย Visionsย exhibition at the Royal College of Art in 1990. However the little recognition he received was outweighed by the day to day problems of his illness and the heavy medication he was prescribed to counter it. His final work,ย The Self Portrait Serieswas painted as he experimented with varying dosages of medication. The 17 portraits show graphically the terrible suffering of mental illness. In July 1991 Bryan Charnley commttited suicide. Subsequently the Self Portrait Series was exhibited at the Nationalย Portrait Gallery in 1992 and the paintings are now at the Prince of Wales International Centre for SANE research in Oxford.ย 18th May l991 From 10th May I had cut down to one anti-depressant (tryptisol) and so was not sleeping so much.ย My mind seemed to be thought broadcasting very severely and it was beyond my will to do anything about it.ย I summed this up by painting my brain as an enormous mouth, acting independently of me.ย The trouble seemed to me rightly or wrongly, to stem from a broken heart on my left so I painted a great mass of gore there to express this.ย The foot that connects to this is pushing the mouth open for the thoughts to be broadcasted.ย I feel I am always divided against my self by myself.ย Again the nail in the mouth expresses my social ineptitude and an in ability to socialise which makes me a target.ย Still I feel Iย am giving off strong personality vibrations, hence the wavy lines emanating from my head.

Positive-obvious signs of psychosis Negative-absence of normal behavior (often vague or transient) Schizophrenia is a severe neuro-psychiatric disease that affects approximately 1% of the world's population. It is characterized by a wide variety of symptoms that include positive symptoms, such asย hallucinationsย and delusions, and negative symptoms, such as lack ofย emotionย or motor control. While many factors have been associated with developing schizophrenia, including genetics, early environment, neurobiology, and psychological and social processes, the exact cause of the disease is unknown .
