Nathalie Rey is a French artist living and working between Barcelona and Berlin.
She had a long academic career in the field of Humanities, with a Master in Architecture, a Degree in Literature and in Fine Arts, before dedicating herself to artistic creation.
Her work, technically eclectic, has followed a kind of narrative thread for years, which oscillates between episodes of contemporary history and personal events. Thus a disturbing parallel is being generated between the dramas of Humanity and individual wounds.
At the same time, she adopts an anti-mercantile position, since she relates and expresses through an ironic pop aesthetic characterized by the artistic re-use of waste and materials of industrial origin, the attraction / repulsion that the human and ecological tragedies inherent in our society arouses in her.
Lately she has been showing her work in solo exhibitions worldwide: at Performistanbul and Gate 27, Istanbul, le Chai, France, GlogauAIR Project Space, Kastanien, SomoS Art House, Backhaus Projects, Scope and Vorfluter, Berlin, the Centre de Lectura in Reus, Spain and the Fàbrica de les Arts Roca Umbert in Granollers, Spain, the Ideograma Fundation and Espronceda Center for Art and Culture in Barcelona, Alalimón, Chiquita Room, Esther Montoriol and The Over galleries (Bcn), La Grey gallery in Tarragona, Spain and the Woldt gallery (London/ Hamburg).
She participated in the festivals Art Photo Bcn, ArtsLibris, Panoràmic, Loop, Cruïlla and ARTefACTe (Bcn), MAU Mostra d’Art Urbà and Nit d’audiovisuals experimentals (F.A. Roca Umbert), Spokoj (Poland), Cahors Juin Jardins (France), Ortstermin and Berlin Art Week among others.
She has been a resident at the Espai d’Arts Roca Umbert from 2018 to 2023. She has stayed as well in the residencies Nectar and CACIS Forn de la calç (Catalonia), AADK Centro Negra (Murcia), JOYA: AIR (Almeria), Hors Saison (France), GlogauAIR, SomoS, Scope(Berlin), CAM Centro Artes Marvila (Lisboa), Gate 27 and Performistanbul (Turkey).
