THE artist
Carole Béatrice Perret was born in 1951 in Bern, Switzerland. She worked as an advertising illustrator in Paris and then in Lausanne. In addition to her passion for horseback riding and horses, it is her other passion for painting that motivated her to devote herself entirely to this art.
Advised by a senior painter, Carole started to use the technique of Tempera on wood panel. This technique was used in the Quattrocento period, before the discovery of oil painting. Nowadays “la Tempera” is not used much, because it requires a know-how and a very meticulous preparation.
His painting is to be classified as naive art or modern primitives, even if some subjects touch on surrealism.
The artist paints “Harlequins” whose scenes evoke the magical world of childhood, where everything is possible, where toys become incarnate and objects come to life. But Carole B.Perret is best known for her paintings that explore the world of the imagination where she stages with humor and a gentle impertinence, “Nuns” with imposing headdresses, dressed in blue and white. The artist likes to decline them in all situations of extravagance, but without shocking. These devotees, a little bit angels and a little bit witches, tease us willingly. They seem to say that we all wear a uniform in life… and that the habit does not make the nun!
Since 1998, C.B. Perret exhibits throughout the year in galleries in Switzerland, France and throughout Europe. His works are also part of private collections in Europe, USA, Brazil, Japan, Middle East, Romania, Portugal, etc…
