Biography of Pascale Parrein
Pascale Parrein is a painter and a printmaker. She studied at the Beaux Arts school of Rouen (1990-1992) and got a bachelor in visual arts from Paris I university La Sorbonne (1992-1994). Meanwhile, she obtained a master degree’s in fundamental physics and a Ph.D in optics from the Paris XI university-Orsay. Since 2000, she is working as a scientist / engineer and as an artist, establishing sometimes connections between both of the domains.
In order to improve her printmaking technique, she did several trainings and residencies, in France at the Atelier du Safranier (Antibes), Atelier Contrepoint in Paris (old Atelier 17) and abroad such as at the EPW (Edinburgh), KKV( Stockholm), Engramme (Québec), Circulaire (Montréal), Central Florida University (Orlando), the Franz Masereel Zentrum (Kasterlee) and more recently at Ge Grave (Geneva).
Between minimal expression and abstraction, the art work of Pascale Parrein, built by series, is a real insight into the matter, rhythms and interactions between the elementary forces. On paper, as well as on canvas, she explores the invisible, the unknown worlds to our mainly blind eyes. In overcoming the perception limits, the artist intentionally positions her work in the feeling areas.
Since 1997, she took part to several solo shows namely in Lyon, Grenoble, Montreal, Orlando, Paris … Her graphic work has been selected to many international print biennials such as Bangkok, Gwangju, Liège, Krakow, Trois-Rivières, Bilbao, Ulus, Sarcelles, Chamalières, Saint Maur and Taipei. She has been rewarded by several prizes.
Pascale Parrein lives and works in Grenoble since 2003.
