"Born in 1966 in Paris, Carole Leprince, originally from Brittany, began painting in 1992. In 1995 she took courses at the Ateliers des Beaux Arts in Clichy where she learned the basics of drawing. She followed these courses until 2002, When she decided to stand on her own feet, she exhibited at Paimpol in 2002, at the Marché de la Création in Paris, and took part in the collective exhibition Vœux d'Artistes in 2005.
Carole Leprince paints characters, most often emblematic of an idea, an impression. They are represented simply, in everyday poses, simple characters with whom time seems to have stood still: “I like to paint people whom I transform into characters. I try to give them life ”. The artist paints in small, delicate and rigorous touches, as if trying to shape these bodies and bring them to life. The colors are bright and the light, by its shimmering effects, gives relief to this painting which is reminiscent of Macke's works. Carole Leprince most often works from photos, which gives her the time and distance necessary to emboss her painting and give it solidity, focusing as much on the sets as on the characters and looking at her canvases makes you feel surprises to wonder about these characters, on what can be or could have been their life, their hopes, their thoughts.
