Dutch-artist, Caroline Dechamby has left an indelible mark on the art world with her visionary approach to creativity and innovation.
A true innovator, Dechamby's impact transcends conventional boundaries. This captivating journey through the evolution of her artistic prowess unfolds against the backdrop of a transformative mis-en-scene concept that she has pioneered.

By repeatedly depicting her own figure from behind, Dechamby creates from her likeness both a recognisable autobiographical character, as well as an anonymous silhouette that allows for an immediate recognition and connection by viewers.
Even by the very act of appropriating these works does Dechamby echo the trends of art history – her work, in a populist spirit, follows directly in the footsteps of artist like Marcel Duchamp, or more recently Elaine Sturtevant. As a woman, her outright placement of herself as an artist in the same league of famous predecessors she appropriates offers a powerful feminist statement, one that is intended outside the hallowed halls of museums and the institutionalised art world.
