Open a larger version of the following image in a popup:“Hommage a Biéler” , painting by Caroline Dechamby artist from Holland, based in Switzerland. Available at Carousel Fine Art Chicago.
A true innovator, Dechamby's impact transcends conventional boundaries. This captivating journey through the evolution of her artistic prowess unfolds against the backdrop of a transformative mis-en-scene concept that she has pioneered. Utilizing plexiglass, she juxtaposes her autobiographical character against masterpieces and techniques that have marked the history of art; a style which she affectionately describes as: "Refreshed Pop Art."
Over the past three decades, Dechamby has fearlessly navigated the realms of art and history, carving out her own niche within the predominantly male-dominated canon of painting. Her innovative approach involves a profound engagement with masterpieces by iconic figures such as Pablo Picasso, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Piet Mondrian. In a daring act of self-reclamation, Dechamby skillfully paints herself—whether in full-bodied form or as a striking silhouette—into these timeless works, embodying the very essence of creation.
By symbolically placing herself at the forefront of artistic genius, Dechamby challenges the established narrative, reclaiming the field from "the boys" and reshaping art history in her own visionary image. Her mesmerizing compositions not only captivate the viewer but also pave the way for empowerment, particularly for women, inviting them to envision themselves as creators, stepping into the shoes of the artist rather than mere spectators.
