Paula Parole German, b. 1992
Paula Parole (B.1992, Germany) is a German artist living and working in London. She is a recent MA graduate of Fine Art from Central Saint Martins, where she was awarded the Mona Hatoum Foundation scholarship. She is the co-founder of Filthy Fox Auction Club. Recent Group shows include Exploring Grief and Loss through Art at Willesden Gallery, (2023-2024) and Undone at Hypha Studios, (2023).
Drawing from self-fiction and auto-theory, her practice digests 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 materials. 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.
