Artist Karine Rougier curated by premier talent spotter Dorothée Dupuis

“Karine’s work is personal, in that it presents a gallery of characters that she uses to express her stories. Through them, she constructs a fictional world that really becomes a utopia – or dystopia. She offers opinions on relationships, fear, sexuality, and eroticism in her drawings and sculptures. It’s a very daring move, because many artists are afraid of expressing what’s inside.”
