About Grand Tour Studios
Original contemporary Plates
Inspired by the illustrated traditions of architecture, archaeology and travel.
Grand Tour Studios is an independent Singapore-based art studio and evolving visual archive.
Artistic Interpretations
Researched. Interpreted. Created as art.
Each Plate is an original artistic interpretation informed by research, architectural understanding and a sense of place.
The works are not intended as measured surveys, archaeological records or scholarly reconstructions. They are contemporary artworks that look back through the visual language of travel, architecture and archaeology.
Contemporary Digital Process
Research, judgement and digital craft
All original works are digital artworks created using a variety of artistic techniques and technologies, some of which may incorporate AI-assisted processes. AI is part of the toolkit, not the author.
Fine Art Printing
Made for today
Produced on heavyweight archival paper using professional fine-art printing. Standard prints are supplied unframed.
Created by an Architect
Charles William Corley
Every Plate is personally created by Charles William Corley.
An architect with approximately forty years of professional experience, Charles brings an architectural eye to every subject: proportion, sequence, construction, atmosphere and memory.
