Caroline Achaintre is a mixed media artist living and working in London.[1] Her work draws heavily on Primitivism and Expressionism.[2]
Born in Toulouse and brought up near Nuremberg, Caroline obtained a scholarship at the Kunsthochschule in Halle, then came to the UK to study at Chelsea College of Arts then Goldsmiths, University of London before establishing a studio in Homerton, East London.[3]
Much of her earlier work was in textiles, particularly wool, and Primitivist in style, though she has also worked in installation, and also in ink on paper[4] and ceramics.[5][6] Much of this work draws on traditions of carnival and tribal masks and the potential to both attract and repulse through the materials.[7] She has held a number of residencies and exhibited in a number of locations, including London's Saatchi Gallery, Birmingham's Eastside Projects and as part of the Eighth British Art Show.[7]
