REINE PARADIS

Known for her unmistakable use of color and outlandish process, Paradis’ work transmits across different mediums through the use of self-portrait photography, painting, performance, sculpture, and video. Through Paradis’ immersive multimedia installations, she examines the pathway between extrinsic realities and personal fantasies. Viewers are invited to cross the border into a colorful and candidly surreal landscape where surefooted perceptions are exchanged for a new artistic currency. Additionally, the use of reflective and transparent material within Paradis’ works obscure, reflect, and absorb light while creating an aurora-like barrier — one that can hide but also illuminate.

Reine Paradis is exhibited internationally and she has been the subject of solo exhibitions in Los Angeles, Paris, Miami, Mexico City, Denver and New York. Her work has been featured in publications such as Courrier International, i-D Magazine, Madame Figaro, Vogue, The Guardian, Artillery mag, LA Weekly, , Ideat Magazine, Flaunt Magazine, Aesthetica Magazine, Juxtapoz Magazine, Plastik Magazine, Philosophie Magazine, Vice Creators Project.

The feature documentary “Queen of Paradis” (2020, Amazon Prime) peels back the curtain on the creation of her recent series, “Midnight,” unveiling the bold process that fuels her artistic expeditions. A sequel film “Paradisland,” (Coming Fall/Winter 2024) will dive deeper into the mind of Paradis as she travels the world to complete her ambitious new body of work “Eclipse.”
