Artist Statement:
In my work of silhouettes I am
interested in capturing the
essence of particular moments
and actions. With a minimum of
details, the scenes create a
familiar atmosphere that
allows the viewer room for
interpretation.
My medium is papercutting; I
have been working in the
format of books and scrolls.
These books are conceived as
narratives (with or without
text), an easily transported
form of nomadic art.
These books of papercuttings
are unique art objects.
Changing light and points of
view offer diverse shadows.

| Your Personal Biography |
Béatrice Coron is a global nomad. She spent a year in Egypt, a year in Mexico, then two years in China. She moved to New York in 1984. All of these places left their mark on her thoughts, her life and her art.
Her passion for working in silhouettes perhaps derive from her French roots; she was born and raised in Lyons. The very word “Silhouette” comes from King Louis XV’s unpopular Minister of Finance, Etienne de Silhouette, who cut so many budgets that his name became synonymous with slashing paper.
An urban dweller for the last twenty years, Coron launched her career as an artist in New York. Her technique is paper-cutting; her usual medium is book arts and more recently public art. She has made tiny pin books in series and books out of cut paper scrolls 50 feet long, books cut into flowers,pop-out books, books in boxes, books in lighted displays; hundreds of surprising shapes and environments for words and thoughts. Her work can be seen in major collections such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Walker Art Center. You can see her public art in subways, airport and sports facilities among others.
