Catherine Lorent was born in 1977 in Munich, Germany, and lives and works in Berlin, Germany. She has exhibited in Germany, France, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Austria and Luxembourg and has won the 2005 Young Artists Incentive Prize and the 2011 Revelation Prize from the Ministry of Culture in Luxembourg, she also represented Luxembourg at the Robert Schuman Prize in 2011. Awarded the 2021 Grand Duke Adolphe Prize, Catherine Lorent has long been one of the country's dedicated artists. Although her studio has been established for more than fifteen years in Berlin, Lorent does not decline her life as an artist in a «somewhere», but rather in a «universe» linking post-punk music and contemporary visual arts, like his frachs under his musical project Gran Horno and some of his long-term artistic projects such as Relegation, initiated for his occupation of the Luxembourg Pavilion, at the 55th Venice Art Biennale in 2013. Since the beginning of his studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Karlsruhe, the artist has never stopped perfecting an exemplary artistic education, while deconstructing these precepts with great fusion between art and music, abstraction and figuration, pointed references and pop wink, improv and concept. Lorent wants to bring spectators into the exchange, eager to make clash cultural traditions and artistic rantings.
