Carole Jury Humanity Series
Béatrice Bizot Urban Dream #2/8
About the Artist
This new series, titled Humanity, continues Carole Jury’s artistic exploration of human connections, as seen in her earlier series Time Goes By, and the awe-inspiring beauty of nature, celebrated in Paradise. With Humanity, the artist brings these two emotional worlds together—humanity and nature—into a single, unified expression.
True to her distinctive style, the paintings feature the structured layers of oil paint that define her visual language. These layers, endlessly overlapping, evoke the impression of stretched threads across the canvas—threads that symbolically weave together the fabric of the natural world.
In this series, Carole Jury departs from her typical blue-toned palette and embraces a more earthy and delicate range of hues: deep browns, soft pastels, sandy tones, and bronzes. These colors are inspired by the raw, untamed landscapes of the American Southwest—such as the Grand Canyon—as well as the iconic ochres of Roussillon in southern France. Two regions that deeply influence the work of this French artist based in Texas.

One of the distinctive features of Bizot's work is her ability to combine the human figure with architectural elements. This intersection of disciplines allows the artist to explore the tensions between human fragility and the solidity of the spaces we inhabit. Her sculptures represent not only the physical forms of the body but also the construction of human identity through personal, social, and urban spaces.
Bizot is particularly interested in how urban environments shape and reflect our presence. Through her work, she examines the human experience within the framework of the city — its materials, geometries, and symbolic structures. She creates a visual poetry where architectural lines blend with the curves and volumes of the human body, emphasizing their interdependence. This sculpture, serene and peaceful is not merely a portrait of the human being, but also a reflection on how identity is constructed through interaction with space — especially the layered, evolving fabric of urban life. In this sense, her work becomes an invitation to reflect on how our physical and emotional selves engage with the environments we inhabit.
