CALI

Under this Alias hides the artist Caroline Limousin, a virtuoso of the good old ballpoint pen created and popularized by BIC. Mixing Pop culture with the most unbridled urban countercultures, she offers viewers in major cities glamorous and mainstream portraits scribbled with pencil strokes that are soft and sharp at the same time. Precise, funny and politically incorrect, she subverts our greatest icons and cultural symbols, and suggests another, personal intake, another look at the world as a questioning, curious and uncompromising person. The world’s crowded fauna of shooting stars; its cities with coded “milieux” and the different sub-cultures of the living and plastic arts, their slogans, their fashions and their outbursts. These last years, and specifically for the Urban Art Fair, Cali is widening her scope by questioning the future of humanity as a whole in its diverse and immediate global context.
