Carol Caputo is an artist who works in a variety of media. In a search for new methods to "read the city", Caputo creates intense personal moments masterfully created by means of rules and omissions, acceptance and refusal, luring the viewer round and round in circles. Her artworks establish a link between the landscapes'reality and abstract impressionism.

By applying abstraction, she investigates the dynamics of photographic landscape, manipulated with drawing and paint to change our assumptions of what landscape means to us. Rather than presenting a factual reality, an illusion is fabricated to conjure the realms of our imagination.

Her works are often classified as part of the new romantic movement because of the desire for the local in the unfolding globalized world. However, this reference is not intentional, as this kind of art is part of the collective memory. By exploring the concept of landscape in a nostalgic way, she creates work through labour-intensive processes which can be seen explicitly as a personal journey. Inspired by a nineteenth-century tradition, her romantic urban works are often about connecting architecture with basic living elements. How we connections is essensial to humanity.

Carol Caputo's career is a collage of award-winning creative projects.
For more than 40 years her illustrations and designs have appeared in magazines
and theater productions, on posters and on TV. An early leader in her field,
she led the way for a new generation of women artist. Carol is restless and eclectic
and she challenges her craft that she learned at the School of Visual Arts as one of its first female recipients of a full scholarship. Her paintings, drawings, sculptures and films have been exhibited at the Art Directors Club, the Society of Illustrators, Lever House,
as well as in numerous galleries.
