Cathryn Boch

Cathryn Boch (born 1968, Strasbourg), is a French award-winning artist who lives and works in Marseille.

[1] Between 1995 and 2001 Boch was one of four artists known as the group “Les Pisseuses” who chalked exquisite corpses on the walls of Strasbourg.

[2] Boch uses road maps, aerial views, topographic surveys and entire iconography of locating, measing and recording the territory as a raw material for her artworks.

As a painter she mixes the colors on her palette to get the desired tone, like a sculptor she takes pieces of the material to give the substance a form.

[5] The tension of the threads hardens the folds and paper turns into sculpture, reinforced with a frosting of sugar or varnish.
