Caroline Douville (b. 1993, Montreal, Canada) is a multidisciplinary artist based in Montreal and Berlin. From a second-generation Haitian diaspora background, she researches Afro-descendant culture and its influence on local and global popular culture, attempting to demystify the cognitive processes by which members of the diaspora interrogate their distant identity and connect it to their locality. Douville is particularly interested in how the internet acts as a tool to facilitate this research by providing access to a vast range of content. She is currently a resident and scholarship recipient at Akademie Schloss Solitude (2025-2026). Through a focus on painting and installation, her work presents a tension between fiction and reality by interrogating how technology influences our visual perception in everyday life.
Recent exhibitions include Inscape at Kraupa-Tuskany Zeidler (Berlin, DE, 2026), Feria de Arte Material at Expo Reforma (Mexico City, MX, 2025), Visions of Belonging at SomoS (Berlin, DE, 2024), Hypnos at Espace Maurice (Montreal, CA, 2024), Chapitre III at Galerie Nicolas Robert (Montreal, CA, 2024), A Preferable Option at Galerie Nicolas Robert (Toronto, CA, 2023), Along the Way at TAP Art Space (Montreal, CA, 2023), and Monstra at Good Mother Gallery (Los Angeles, USA, 2023).
Upcoming exhibitions include Savvy Contemporary (Berlin, DE), Pictura, Painting Biennial Montréal (Montréal, CA), Galerie im Turm (Berlin, DE) and KW Institute of Contemporary Art (Berlin, DE). In 2027, she will present a solo exhibition at Paulina Caspari, Munich, DE.
