CAROLE DUHAYER
Carole Duhayer lives and works in Paris. She was born in 1978. She travelled throughout Europe and the United States before studying Design at the Nissim de Camondo school in Paris. She also studied painting at the Ecole des Beaux-arts de Paris in James Bloedé's studio.
A visit to the Serge Poliakoff exhibition at the Musée d'Art Moderne gave her a real aesthetic shock, after the Alhambra in Granada and its Moorish architecture.
This was the trigger for her first collection of paintings...
She presented them at an exhibition in Saint Germain des Prés.
She chose painting to explore ‘modernity’, as Baudelaire wrote, ‘the transitory, the fleeting, the ephemeral’.
Her diploma from the Ecole Camondo, obtained in 2005, is undoubtedly a major factor in this, as she continues to experiment with notions of colour, space and form, and questions the reinterpretation of the decorative modernity invented by Klee and Matisse.
Her artistic activity extends to the world of design and interior architecture, where she works on international projects with Philippe Starck, Tino Zervudachi, Gilles & Boissier and others; Samsung Electronics, Onboards Controls (aeronautics), Zadig & Voltaire...
His visual research brings together the worlds of science and art through the pictorial poetry of decorative motifs and ornamentation.
All life is a circle, from the smallest -atoms- to the largest -planets- and we are made of atoms and molecules in the harmony of the cosmos.
Shapes and colours come together in a quest for movement, for dynamic design: a ‘dance of form’. Colour becomes the motif, a subtle hybrid between baroque and minimalism.
She regularly exhibits at Saint Germain des Prés (sponsored by Pierre Cornette de Saint Cyr) and at Castel (Paris 6th arrondissement), focusing on the fashion image, highlighted by her pictorial motifs as a reminder of the modernity so dear to Baudelaire... images and therefore digital icons that also inscribe her painting in contemporary fashion.
