Caroline Achaintre: Eye Level

Caroline Achaintre’s works oscillate between object and subject, each evoking a powerful presence that explores the concept of the uncanny. Spanning from large-scale textile pieces to watercolor drawings and ceramic sculptures, her artworks gaze from the wall, shapeshift, and sit at the crossroads of abstraction and figuration.

Achaintre draws inspiration from multiple cultural references such as European carnival traditions, futurist and postmodern museum architecture, science fiction, prehistoric art, and animism – the belief that objects, places, and creatures all possess a distinct spiritual essence.
