Caroline Degroiselle says that in her paintings “the color creates the subject.” Working in acrylics on canvas,Caroline Degroiselle: Creating a World from Color Articles Degroiselle employs color to dramatic effect in images that depict subjects ranging from elegant still lifes to works that communicate the vitality of urban scenes and natural settings. In her hands, a sky can be blue, violet or a mixture of pinks and yellows, while water can assume an equal variety of shades. When that open-ended sensibility is combined with the artist’s ability to give each work a sense of light, space and movement, along with her sensitivity to texture, the result is a body of work that is both a realistic view of the outside world and a window into her inner, personal vision.

Born in Paris, Degroiselle moved to New Caledonia in the South Pacific when she was a child. The sea, land and light of that island shaped her style, providing “a unique gift and an eternal inspiration.” Mirroring the variations of the world she lives in, Degroiselle’s paintings let viewers experience its lush physicality and vibrant sense of positivity.

About the Exhibition 

Sensorial Realities

 

Agora Gallery's new group exhibition Sensorial Realities offers nine different voyages into new and challenging worlds. Among the paintings, mixed-media works, ceramics, and sculptures included, there are stimulating explorations of landscape, narrative, abstraction, and portraiture. One painter creates outdoor scenes out of a jungle of thick, unbroken brushstrokes that pulse with the loud colors of summer in bloom. Another builds quietly intense psychological scenes out of isolated figures. A third toggles between sensual realism and an abstraction that depends simply on the perspective zooming in and out. With such thoughtful technical experimentation and flawless execution, Sensorial Realities showcases artists operating at their smartest and most provocative level.
