Béatrice Coron explores visual storytelling in artist books, paper cutting and public art. Born in France, she was a shepherdess and truck driver among others, then she worked in tourism and lived in Egypt and Mexico for one year each and two years in China. She moved to New York where she launched her career as an artist in 1984. In all these places she collected many stories. Her work can be seen in collections such as the Metropolitan Museum and the Walker Art Center and her public art in New York, Chicago, Paris and Hong Kong among others.
This series of 6 life-size paper cut fashion bugs was created in 2020 as a reaction of confinement. Exploring virus shapes and enriching them with different mythologies each bug represent a bacteria and a spirit to overcome pandemics.
