PAULA PAROLE
Paula Parole is a German multidisciplinary artist (*1992) based in London.
Drawing from self-fiction and autotheory, Paula uses her art as a medium to digest life, unpack relational behaviours and introspective patterns. Poetic humour weaves through vibrant, eclectic installations where memories and future projections are reflected through a range of styles and symbolic materials. Her experiences are dissected, inspected and reassembled in the ultimate attempt to demystify them and dismantle internalised narratives around womanhood, destiny and fairy tale romance. Such a surgical and emotional process resolves in artworks which reflect rituals of closure initiated by the smell of incense or the sound of rippling oysters. It’s in the tension between keeping and letting go that catharsis manifests, and inner transformation occurs.
Paula did a BA in Visual Communication at the Academy of Fine Art Maastricht, Netherlands, where she focused on film and graduated in 2016. After two short movies, which won a few prices, she redirected her practice from Film to Fine Art. She started her studio practice whilst working as art-mediator for the Boros Collection Berlin. Since 2020 she’s been based in London, where she received a graduate diploma in Fine Art from Chelsea College of Art and a Master of Fine Art from Central Saint Martins, for which she was awarded the Mona Hatoum Foundation scholarship. Currently she has a studio with the Bomb Factory Art Foundation, North London.
