The work in short

After initially creating clay sculptures that resembled modern dolls, Caroline Benchétrit transposed her spindly-legged heroines onto canvas. By integrating elements of ceramics, modeling clay, wax and collage, she made a graceful transition from sculpture to painting. The scenery in these two-dimensional works is a first-level impression of reality as seen through the eyes of the artist. The result is a series of anecdotal works that immediately seduce the viewer with playful charm and a message of freedom and joy.
 
Behind this naïve façade hides a more profound significance as Caroline Benchétrit explains:
« Inspired by a world without rules, I use a narrative style in my expression where visual and textual allusions suggest the passionate message behind a seemingly simple scene. I combine colour and texture to represent a liberating moment in time. The content is secondary to the communication of the authentic emotion. If I have tugged at the untameable spirit of the observer – I have done my work ».
