Das Kabinett der Dame (The Lady's Cabinet), 2023

Carola Dewor (b. 1955, Altena/Westfalen, Germany) is a contemporary painter based in Tübingen, Germany. She studied Free Painting at the Universität der Künste Berlin from 1978 to 1985 and graduated as Meisterschülerin of Prof. Klaus Fußmann. She also studied at the California Institute of the Arts in Los Angeles on a scholarship. Dewor is best known for her atmospheric depictions of interiors, building facades, and dwelling spaces, developing a distinctive pictorial language rooted in the tradition of the French Intimists Édouard Vuillard and Pierre Bonnard, as well as Adolf von Menzel and Max Liebermann.

Central to Dewor’s practice is the conviction that spaces speak — that a room, whether inhabited or abandoned, reveals more about its occupants than their visible presence ever could. Her paintings address human living conditions, inner states, and cultural imprints through the careful rendering of domestic and urban environments. Departing from source material researched predominantly online, she maintains a deliberate distance from her subjects, allowing for a personal and painterly interpretation that emerges in the act of painting itself. In the 1980s, Dewor merged her interest in interior space with the neo-expressive painting of her time, forging a visual language she has continued to develop over four decades of sustained practice.

Dewor’s work has been presented in numerous solo and group exhibitions across Germany and internationally, including at the Museo Arte Contemporaneo in São Paulo, Brazil; Rocca Paulina in Perugia, Italy; and Galerie Siki in Saint-Louis, Senegal, where she held an artist residency in 2019–2020. Recent exhibitions include presentations at Art Karlsruhe, Discovery Art Fair, and Städtische Galerie Schloss Donzdorf. She is represented by Groß Gallery in Halle/Westf., Galerie Lauth in Ludwigshafen, and Strzelski Galerie in Stuttgart.
