Meeting Caroline Dahyot means first of all meeting her world.
It could be safely said that she literally lives in her work: in her villa "Verveine" perched above the English Channel, Caroline Dahyot has created an ideal, protective world for herself and for others. She has thus made her home a nest, where those she loves are safe and secure, where she can make her voice, her inner voices, heard.
Her restorative art helps spread a message of universal art. This is what strikes you when you approach her; this love that emanates from her, that she transmits to each person who crosses her path. Like a witch of good, she creates dolls and drawings in the image of those who are dear to her: her children, her friends or even her lovers,
which she adorns with a cat's head, transforming them into imaginary creatures who cannot disappoint her.
At home, she covered the floor, walls and ceiling with colorful frescoes mixing abstract patterns, portraits, animals, flowers and, here and there, like conversation bubbles, questions, maxims and injunctions, to oneself or to others...
Today, the walls of the Villa Verveine overflow with sheets that Caroline hangs in the spaces that host her work, ever more peaceful, ever more controlled.
She paints, she draws, she sews, she mends...
Based on a text by Thibault Léonardis, for the permanent exhibition at the Art & Marges museum, Brussels.
• Outdoors: choose locations where people take a walk and/or where there is a lot of foot traffic: in the centre of the town, near a school, in a public garden or along a walking trail... And if possible, on flat ground!
• Indoors: reception hall, office, waiting room, dining room, meeting room - choose the best-lit space.
CAUTION: If the space where you are displaying the exhibition is slightly damp, we recommend purchasing eight simple frames of the same size (50 x 70 cm) to protect the prints.
The papers we have chosen for printing our exhibitions meet two essential criteria, among others: beautiful colour rendering and durability.
• Exhibitions intended for outdoor display are printed on high-quality 130gsm blue-backed paper.
• For exhibitions intended for indoor display, we have chosen a 550gsm semi-rigid paper to which we attach a simple hanging system. These panels can therefore be hung on a single nail or framed if they are to be displayed in a slightly damp location.
For outdoor displays, our poster formats have been chosen to best suit “election” billboards:
• Large outdoor format (84 x 119 cm) for maximum impact. With one poster per billboard, you will need eight in total.
• Small outdoor format (63 x 93 cm) so that two posters can be placed on the same billboard... meaning you only need to install four billboards.
• Indoor exhibition (50 x 70 cm): 8 prints to hang on 5 linear metres of free wall space.
