Born in France, raised in Germany and living in Great Britain, Caroline Achaintre studied at the Kunsthochschule in Halle then at the Chelsea College of Art and Design and at Goldsmiths University in London. Inspired at the same time by the European carnival, Primitivism, German Expressionism or even science fiction, the work of Caroline Achaintre evokes on the one hand the possible coexistence of several characters within the same being and on the other hand the tensions generated by duality. Her works have the particularity of being difficult to define. Abstract and figurative at the same time, they reveal anthropomorphic forms and bear witness to a particular interest in animism. They are part of several public collections: CAPC, Bordeaux / FR; Tate Britain, London; Museum of Modern Art of the City of Paris, Paris; National Center for Plastic Arts, Paris; FRAC Aquitaine, Bordeaux, and FRAC Champagne-Ardenne, Reims.

Mission Recherche

In 1964, ORLAN is a 17-year-old girl who invents herself by photographing herself on her trousseau sheet. The latter had been wisely elaborated by her mother, a seamstress in her spare time and the wife of an anarchist, Esperantist and naturist husband who worked in electricity. In her manifesto ORLAN accouche d'elle-m'aime, in which she appears opposite her alter ego, a model, she strikes the pose of a bored teenager on a café terrace. Her pouty mouth is enhanced by a bright lipstick, her smoky eyes stare off into a promising horizon far from Saint-Etienne. In the meantime, ORLAN tried her hand at poetry, publishing a collection for her 15th birthday and retaining the witz, the spirit, throughout her work. She opened up to theatre, yoga, sculpture and painting. Visual courtesy of the Ceysson & Bénétière gallery.
