Tango (2012) Sculpture by Caroline Chopin

Caroline Chopin is a contemporary French sculptor. Over the course of the past fifteen years, she has embarked on an artistic exploration that spans various aesthetics, pushing the boundaries of her craft. For Caroline, formal research is the wellspring of her inspiration, a realm where hidden possibilities abound.

The world of volume holds a special place in Caroline's artistic heart. She vividly describes her initial encounter with it as an experience of fullness, smoothness, tension, and an essential, reassuring presence. Yet, this encounter was only the beginning of her fascination with volume. It soon revealed itself as more than just a maternal cocoon; it emerged as something "external" and complex, beckoning her to delve deeper into its mysteries. This thirst for understanding led her to unravel the intricate mechanics of volume and explore its infinite potential.

Throughout her artistic journey, spanning many years, Caroline Chopin has meticulously crafted a repertoire of shapes - a telluric alphabet, so to speak. Her goal is to endow her sculptures with a rich vocabulary, one that enables her to precisely convey the emotions and sensations that stir within her. Each sculpture she creates becomes a unique expression, a linguistic statement in the language of forms, capturing the essence of her evolving artistic exploration.
