Painting time, is painting our time? The painting that Caroline David offers to the viewer in her series Past to the future (in which the sculpture Squared head also appears) is a painting which, in the physical sense of the term, mixes a very broad temporal and geographic spectrum. In her paintings, the 17th century monarchs coexist with the 21st century artist-kings, the court of Versailles (as contemporary cinema has filmed it) with the most trendy luxury of Hong Kong (itself a product of western export). These varied and mixed influences give this new series the air of an imaginary little atlas in which the viewer would be invited to take a stroll through time and space. Within a culture that has become global, the most heterogeneous universes would meet, in a mode of readily playful contrast, of a dialogue with insolent freedom, as evidenced by some of the titles chosen by the artist.

France
Painter, originally from Les Rousses in Haut-Jura (France), Caroline David now lives and works in Roubaix (Lille Metropolis - France) after a ten-year career abroad, in Hungary (Budapest) and then in China (Shanghai). She began painting in 2006 in Budapest (her city of heart) where she remained for 7 years. It was in Hungary that she became a full-time artist and exhibited her work for the first time, in a gallery and then at the French Institute of Budapest with the group of artists Quatu'Art. From her beginnings in painting, the digital era has been an obvious source of inspiration for the artist who also takes up questions of globalization and cultural clashes. In 2012, in China, the adaptation to the megalopolis of Shanghai, ultra artificial and extremely populated is difficult for this girl from the Jura mountains. She is involved as a curator on an exhibition of contemporary Chinese artists, carried by an international communication agency. But she must leave the country to flee the pollution that is endangering the life of her son. This period marks a decisive turning point that nourishes her artistic work and directs her even more to contemporary societal concerns such as urbanization, the restriction of wildlife areas, the question of a society driven by data, the transhumanism. In France since 2014, she presents her artwork in Lille, Paris and in her native Jura and several cities in Europe such as Lisbon in September 2022 In 2021, Caroline David's pictorial work invites humans to reconnect with their natural environment (earth, air, oceans, the elements, plants, other animals) and to free themselves from artificial and virtual destroyer worlds of which they are the authors. Towards rewilding!
