ARTIST DEMO Elora Fergus Studio Tour - Carole Chaloupka - Figurative Sculpture

Accès

À propos

Carole Chaloupka received her Master of Fine Arts at Toronto’s OCAD University and her BA (Hons) at Sunderland University in her native North East England.

Carole specializes in evocative portraiture and figurative sculpture that captures fleeting moments of inner reflection that are both deeply private and vastly universal.

Her sensitive, expressive work explores the embodied experience of having memories, thoughts, emotions, and intuition contained within our bodies, and seeks to give form to these invisible and difficult-to-articulate feelings and sensations.

Themes within Carole’s work include vulnerability, meaning-making, and our achingly bittersweet knowledge of the impermanence of mortal life.

Carole’s art practice is informed by the concept of art-based research, art studio as laboratory, and art as a way of thinking. She views art-making as a way of working through and processing the experiences, questions and beliefs that she can’t seem to fully address by any other means. Often she doesn’t fully understand what is inspiring a piece until near completion when she realizes, “Oh….THAT’S what this piece is about!”.
