Caroline Sury is the founder, with Pakito Bolino, of Dernier Cri, a publishing house specializing in subversive and graphic imagery. A major figure in this movement, always on the borderline between Street-Art and Art Brut, she has a dozen comics to her credit (her latest, "Un matin avec Mademoiselle Latarte", was included in the official selection of the Angoulême Comics Festival 2020), as well as numerous drawings published in both specialist magazines (Lapin, Strapazin, Ferraille...) and major daily newspapers (Libération, Le Monde...).

His work is by turns realistic, symbolist, expressive, often crude and willingly provocative. Her "nervous and crazy" style is particularly rooted in the trials and tribulations of everyday life. Born in Laval, she now lives and works in Marseille, having previously lived in New York and Paris.

She most often works with pen directly on paper. Another of her creative techniques, paper cut-outs, has earned her numerous exhibitions, including one in 2019 at the Rencontres du 9ème art in Aix-en-Provence.
