More Beautiful Than They Are

Paris-based artist Caroline Ventura explores gestures, forms, and colors as well as their combinations and concepts in various media such as painting, drawing, mural art, and photography. The artist book More Beautiful Than They Are presents drawings Ventura has created almost daily since 2020.In her drawings, Ventura combines a treasure of memories, encounters, forms, and symbols from her interior world with elements of pop and everyday culture. The artist inquisitively searches for the moment in which tension arises and "magic happens." She juxtaposes graphic gestures, overlays forms and materials, allowing colors to clash and setting in connection what does not necessarily belong together.Page by page, Caroline Ventura searches for visual analogies from a subjective perspective to structure the ambivalences that characterize our relationships. The book that is designed by Dorothee Dähler features texts by Laura Breitschmid and Claire Hoffmann and a photographic essay by Dominik Hodel.
