Carole Duhayer

Carole Duhayer lives and works in Paris. She was born in 1978. She traveled across Europe and the United States before studying Design at the Nissim de Camondo school in Paris. She also studied painting at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris in James Bloedé's studio.

It was while visiting Serge Poliakoff's exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art that she had a real aesthetic shock, after the Alhambra in Granada and its Moorish architecture.

The trigger to produce a 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 fugitive, the ephemeral. »

Her degree from the Ecole Camondo, obtained in 2005, certainly has a lot to do with it since she is always experimenting with notions of colors, space and form, and questions the reinterpretation of decorative modernity invented by Klee or Matisse.

Her activity in art extends into the world of design and interior architecture where she collaborates on international projects with Philippe Starck, Tino Zervudachi, Gilles & Boissier among others; Samsung Electronics, Onboards Controls (aeronautics), Zadig & Voltaire…

Her plastic research brings the scientific and artistic worlds into dialogue through the pictorial poetry of decorative pattern and ornament.

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 colors are articulated in a quest for movement, a dynamic design: that of a "dance of form". Color becomes the motif, a subtle hybridization between baroque and minimalism.

She exhibits regularly at Saint Germain des Prés (sponsored by Pierre Cornette de Saint Cyr) as well as at Castel (Paris 6th) around the fashion image highlighted by her pictorial motifs as if to recall the modernity dear to Baudelaire…images and therefore digital icons that also inscribe her painting in contemporary fashion.
