Artist

Bio

Caroline Freudenthal is an Abstract Artist, Writer/Storyteller & a Swedish/global
PR, Communication & Fundraising Manager.

An autodidact artist, Caroline paints abstract art in acrylic, tempera and mixed media on canvas and paper. Works include large paintings over 2 metres.

Born in 1962 in England to Swedish parents, Caroline holds dual Swedish and British nationality. A multicultural childhood spent in England, Mexico and Sweden has inspired and influenced her distinct artistic expression. Sources of inspiration include CG Jung’s reflections on Alchemy and Psychology, Egyptology, Norse Mythology, travel, art, design, film, fashion, music and literature.
She often has the title of a painting in mind before starting on a new piece.

In October 2012, Caroline was presented as a new talent to the American art public at the Bego Ezair Gallery on Madison Avenue in
New York, with a collection of paintings titled “Reinvention.” Several of the pieces featured in the exhibition are now on long-running display in the Save the Children UN Office at the
UN Plaza.

Her latest exhibition “Renaissance”
(21 November to 1 December 2019) was hosted
by Volvo Studio Stockholm in Sweden.

Previous art exhibitions in Stockholm include: “Shieldmaiden” at Bumblebee Studio in 2016, “Two Tribes: A Consummation” in 2015,
“Galvanized” in 2014, both at the MLG Gallery.

Caroline’s first exhibition “Transformation”
was held at the Ahtello Soul Art Gallery
in 2002, followed by “Ritual” at Ahtello
in 2003. In 2004 Caroline was presented as an emerging artist as part of a group exhibition at
Gallery Gummesons and in 2005 she was featured in a solo show at Gummesons with her exhibition “Zoë,” displaying artwork painted and signed under Caroline’s alter ego
and creative persona Zoë. This was later followed by another solo show, “Maelstrom,”
at Gallery Aguéli in 2007.

Her artwork has been highlighted as design features in various interior decoration projects and on Swedish television.

Caroline also dedicates time to creative writing.
She writes children’s stories in Swedish
and fiction and poetry in English.

Artist’s Statement:

"I am a big admirer of Mexican Surrealist artist Frida Kahlo, who I view as a kindred spirit through her creative expression,
her loves, her life. Just as Frida embodied
the art of Peinture Feminine, the Feminine
is also a prominent feature in my work.
Friducha was a true Alchemist and a
major part of my body of work is inspired
and influenced by the ancient ‘science’ of Alchemy and the various experimental stages described in the formulae for turning
lead into gold.”


Johan Cederlund,
​Museum Director
at the Zorn Museum
in Sweden, notes in
a 2016 critique of
Caroline's work:

“Caroline Freudenthal's artwork brings to mind the"Plein Air" movement:
her blue pieces recall Monet's garden paintings while the darker canvases
resemble intricate studies of tree trunks
and rocks. Caroline's work is
a rhapsody ​in art.”
