The Parallel Souls (Âmes Parallèles) series is composed of four experimental works where shapes burst forth from the canvases, surrounded by a frame with rhythmic shapes, created to measure.

Created with a kind of automatic painting, as if listening to dreams and whispers in the ear, these canvases are explorations of the passages of the mind via the channels of truth.

"The hunt for shapes takes us into a dreamlike realm where architectural geometric shapes come to life. With a mural on the ground and two sculptures scattered throughout the Bicheret park, participants are invited to interact with the work. Younger children will have the opportunity to play on the floor mural, inspired by hopscotch games, while discovering the symbolic shapes represented by the modules."

When We Bloom Together is about inclusion and sport, about representation of women in sport, and the way in which the fight of certain athletes can influence society to become more inclusive.

This wall is a tribute to the sportsmen and sportswomen, who dare to impose themselves in the political landscape and inspire others by planting seeds that will bloom.

Stairway to rise (2022) is an artistic journey composed of four murals of 4,2x2,2m painted in situ and four Dibond mirror elements on four floors of the double spiral stairs in the latest Covivio building in Saint-Ouen.

This monumental work invites you to stroll and escape through phantasmagorical windows whose play of abstract composition shapes is directly inspired by the architectural characteristics of the building, such as the stairs, the lines and the curves of the facades.

Installed in the double spiral staircase, a place conducive to exchanges and meetings, offering two routes distinct across the floors, this singular work offers two options - the mural or its reflection - so that everyone has a choice of the reality they wish to perceive within these walls.

After painting the fisherman's cave back in 2019, I came back to Massa region with the desire to paint with the women of Sidi R'Bat and take space in the public space.

We decided with Margaux Derhy to create murals that showed famous birds from the national park of Souss Massa with dynamic and abstract backgrounds that offer multiple escapist possibilities.

Thanks to Khadija, Hanan & Khadija, who helped us by adding their own design to the mural.

The painting Phare (2022) explores the lost narratives of motherhood and the necessity of these transmissions. Visions during physiological childbirth are translated there, both abstractly and figuratively.

Nowadays, in France, a pathological look is posed on maternities, and most deliveries are medicalized.

During my pregnancy, I wanted to reconnect with the ancestral stories and during long meditation sessions in the water, I started a visualisation exercise that had been given to me for pain during labor: to find myself in the sea, each contraction being a wave, the lighthouse in the distance being my spouse, my guide.

Since the waves have always been part of my imaginary landscape and have a strong presence in my dreams, I embraced this vision and let myself be enveloped by the sea, feeling each wave on the day my son Laszlo was born.

This painting leaves clues and in turn gives a story, which can inspire and guide a future rough sea.

Diptych inspired by my grandmother Marguerite’s ‘visions’ and her connection with the beyond.

I always knew she was connected, as she mentioned in the past that she saw entities, such as the reaper just before close ones died. I took what she saw very seriously and wanted her voice to be heard, in a society where old women have no voice.

She described to me everyone around her, from the children who were putting a mess in her house, to the man with a hat hiding in a corner.

I decided to paint what she told me and offer her the painting, so when all of those characters are gone, somehow they will remain close to her.

It made me very proud to make sure she has been heard.

“In Caroline Derveaux’ series of paintings Arco Iris, the artist presents us with a Rorschach test onto which we might transpose images of the familiar and the foreign.

Through the prism of the artist’s interpretations, these images are refracted back, into a host of colours and forms all reflective of space and sensation. Street food is garnished with lime, a staircase wends up and away. It is in this way that Arco Iris taps into the collective cultural memory which Caroline fell in love with whilst producing this series in Mexico.

The body of work reflects the full sensory experience of her months spent in and around Mexico City. These paintings are some of the more figurative of the artist’s oeuvre, and they serve the viewer to coalesce the physical with Caroline’s own inner landscape. Large subjects translated to small canvasses, desire paths which converge and divert, a street in the late afternoon, perhaps. The bend, where you might meet, rounded out with the flavours of the day, all joined in a warm palette. The landscape is cantilevered from figuration in a play of structural balance, articulations from the artist’s own imagination”.

Cocoon Cycle is an ongoing series of abstract portrait paintings started at BAM in 2020, that is focusing on inspiring women, the beauty of love, combat, art and the incredible heritage between women.

La Bruja de Texcoco explores magic, Mexican folkore and trans identities, through her music.

The Guhur Sisters collaborate on various projects through their own practice (video, design, sculpture).

Fanny Godebarge is a queer feminist and a menstrual activist.

Collection Plissé is made in collaboration with the artist Sonson Tingaud with the desire to associate graphic shapes and colours on Sonson’s geometric vases. The accumulation of the hand gesture, through papier mâché and paint, creates a conversation between these mediums.

This papier mâché collection is made up of pieces ranging from 15cm to 130cm today.

»Momentum of Eternity«

Matter moves, evolves & interacts. Memories are building up from a hardly apparent present.

Those imperceptible changes of states are the essence of our reality. Momentum of Eternity is to fully embrace the energy behind one moment, two persons, one place, and the appreciation of an instant, a momentum of eternity.

Manifested as an informal artistic residency, Sophie Douala and Caroline Derveaux have immersed themselves for 2 weeks in April 2019, in the spacetime of a moment at Anomalie Art Gallery & explored its singularities.

Herland is a canvas triptych, that was commissioned by Urban Art Paris for the exhibition Perspectives Collectives at Le Garage in March 2020.

What would our world be like if women no longer had to fear men? If the power structures, finely chiseled, overtuned and allowed half of humanity to no longer suffer from being a woman.

Herland is a triptych based on the eponymous book by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, an environnemental and feminist science fiction book, which describes a society essentially composed of women reproducing by parthenogenesis.

January: "Poptje was my baby teddy bear. I used to hold it tight against my chest. I still have it and all the fingers have been eaten".

February: "I remember my childhood in Greece, playing with a spinning-top with my siblings".

March: "When I was 10, I experienced a moment of stage theatre for the first time. I did not care much for the audience, what I loved the most was the rehearsing time every week, the excitement that lives backstage".

April: "My Dad worked for the Dutch railway so I used  to travel all the country for free and love the feeling of being on the road".

May: " At 8, a German officer pointed a gun on my head; luckily a higher ranked officer stopped him from killing me; and look at me now: I'm 83 and I have four children and four grandchildren!".

June: "At 5, my sister and I were playing, pretending to be in a hair salon. It was very early in the morning, at a time we were not supposed to be up yet. With the excitement, my sister cut my hair on the front, creating a fringe".

July: "I used to play a lot in the woods with friends. My favourite part would be when it rained: everyone would leave but I'd cycle in the rain and the road would be free just for me".

August: "I used to draw trees with my grandfather. He always drew first the trunk and the branches, and I will then add colourful dots on the top".

September: "I met my wife when I was 10, the day of school. We are now celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary".

October: "I used to play with my younger brothers on the barn"s hay, we would climb to the top and then let ourselves slide to fall right through it".

November: "My favourite toy was a wooden red oven my grandfather made when I was 3. I used to spend a lot of time with him before he passed away".

December: " My family had a pharmacy in Utrecht where I used to work. Every room was used for making medecine, even my bedroom. We sold the shop in the 60s but the wooden deer head still remains inside today".

We Love Green is an eco-friendly Parisian festival. Caroline was tasked with significant amounts of scenography, primarily customising wood furniture with patterns and colours, for seven different projects. They represented in total 40 artworks and were seen by more than 34,000 over the 30th and the 31st of May 2015.

Jolly Jolie (2014) is about the exuberance of happiness, bipolarity and childhood memories. A collection of twenty-five drawings (30x20cm), each created from twenty-five askings of the question "What is your most ecstatic childhood/adolescent memory?" From the answers, scenes have been created expressing the bipolarity within the work and the artist - the gloomy and doleful black and white style of drawing and the euphoric narrative of the installation. The title Jolly Jolie plays with the dichotomy of the artist's language - French and English - and the same resonance of the word 'Pretty Happy'.
