Note:
Caroline Douville is a multidisciplinary artist based in Montreal and holds a BFA from Concordia University.
From a second-generation Haitian diaspora background, she researches Afro-descendant culture and its influence on local and global popular culture. She attempts to demystify the cognitive processes by which members of the diaspora interrogate their distant identity and how they connect it to their locality. More specifically, Douville is interested in how the internet can act as a tool for facilitating this research by providing access to a vast range of content. Through a focus on painting and installation, her work presents a tension between fiction and reality by interrogating how technology influences our visual perception in everyday life.
Douville has exhibited in Canada and abroad, including at the Clark Centre, Espace Maurice, and Nicolas Robert (Montreal); Afternoon Projects (Vancouver); and New Image Art and Good Mother Gallery (Los Angeles).
