CAROLINE AYLES

A ROOM OF THEIR OWN: Spaces and Objects of 20th Century Creatives

The idea for the exhibition began with Ayles’ visit to Salvador Dalí’s home, Castell de Púbol in Spain. Though Dalí is celebrated for his theatrical interiors, it was his pristine 60’s kitchen that struck Ayles and she immediately wanted to paint it. The work was later exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts in 2024. It became the starting point for a wider artistic journey into the interior lives of famous Creatives.
