Hi I’m KARO (sometimes Caro) - an Oakland-based artist working across photography, textiles, painting, and mixed media, with a practice rooted in the figure. My work oscillates between themes of playful eroticism, containment, power, and the individual within a moribund capitalist, environment.
I am interested in the inherant social histories within materials and ways personal identity extends outward into broader social and political structures.
I also operate an ongoing conceptual nation project, The Ambulatory Free States of Obsidia.
My studio is based in Oakland, California.
My teaching centers on accessibility, experimentation, and material exploration.
For learners, I like to incorporate low-tech and approachable methods to reduce anxiety around art-making and create room for play and innovation. I’m interested in helping people engage in new ways with familiar materials that feel low-pressure and encourage curiosity over perfection.
~Past Events~
“Altered Self”
“Chaos Figure Drawing“
“Animation Crafts”
“Collaborative Comics”
“Dream Dioramas”
