Artist Name

Sylvie Perrin

Born: 1963

Hometown: Villeurbanne

Based in: Villeurbanne

Sylvie Perrin was born in Lyon (France), where she currently lives. From the age of six, she expressed her desire to become a painter and thereafter never considered a B plan for her studies.

A few years later, graduated from the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Lyon, she began her career as an illustrator for the press, publishing and advertising between Paris and the Netherlands, where she settled for six years.
During these years, she expressed her creativity either through modeling, painting, drawing, graphics or design.
She also worked in New-York as the artistic director on a BET tv channel puppet show, “The Fabulous Reggae Dogs”.

Along with her activity, she has never stopped creating collages from magazines and old paper, for her own pleasure. Wanting to develop this more personal artistic expression, she has been making collages for a few years by collecting advertising or event posters on the walls of the city of Lyon.
She now exhibits her work in galleries in France, Switzerland, the United States, the Netherlands and on the internet.

In reference to her primary activity as an illustrator, and to avoid confusion linked to her very common last name, she signs her works Sylvie Perrin Queenofclay.

More About Sylvie Perrin

Question IconWhat inspires you?

Typography, graphic composition, the city, colors, movement, positivity, joy, spirituality, contrast

Question IconDescribe your creative process.

I cut, tear, decompose and recompose in resolutely urban and dynamic forms this material which, by nature, is ephemeral. I give it a second life. The use of a layer of transparent and shiny resin finish on each piece glorifies these discarded raw materials and illuminates them. Each of my collages, as a tribute and to keep the memory of where it comes from, is named after a street or a district of Lyon.

Question IconWhat are 3 words that best describe your work?

Graphic, vibratory, urban

Question IconWho are some artists that have influenced your work?

Neville Brody, Sonia Delaunay, Charles Demuth, Jacques Villeglé

Scissors and glue

Do more of what makes you happy

Question IconWhere do you go for inspiration?

Everywhere where I find good vibrations, city, nature ....
