Carol BAILLY

An American who emigrated to Switzerland, Carol Bailly started to draw as an autodidact using strong, acid colours in Indian ink, gouache and coloured crayons. She created sketches filled with lavish details, with women at the centre of her narrative. She gives them a voice which can be humorous, sarcastic or even tragic. Frida Khalo, the archetype of the female artist, occupies a preponderant place in her compositions; she plays the role of the artist’s muse and alter-ego.
