beatrice coron’s paper cuts
August 4, 2008 11:34 am
On New York’s hot streets these days, what French-born, Big Apple-dwelling Beatrice Coron terms “human interactions with the urban environment” are usually uncomfortable, sweaty, and testy. But the intricate images Coron creates by slicing into painted paper with an X-Acto knife tell a different story. Her delicate silhouettes, currently on display at the city’s Grady Alexis Gallery, create complex scenes of people at work and play. Their lacy beauty not only previews one of Fall’s biggest runway trends, it reminds us of the unexpected beauty of urban life—think of her work as an antidote to the sweltering world outside.
