Caroline Villard Featured in Art511 Magazine

VillageOneArt collaborating artist Caroline Villard was featured in Art511 Magazine’s coverage of a project in honor of Women’s History month.

The International Women Artists’ Salon initiated the project to support women creatives and give them a voice. Caroline Villard was invited to this project as an emerging female artist. Her work began with sculptures and installations that used the moments, objects, and feelings of daily life to express the complexities of the contemporary moment.

In 2017 she graduated from the MFA Fine Arts program at the School of Visual Arts. From then on she began to work mostly in oil on canvas, gathering sketches, photographs and drawn aspects of specially constructed models or diaramas to make figurative semi-surreal vignettes.

She admires Caravaggio, Sargent, Hopper and Hockney among countless others. But her work draws from popular culture and contemporary sculpture as much as classical painting. People who see the work often mention Francis Bacon, René Magritte and Giorgio de Chirico.
