Norman Cherner Armchair — Contemporary Pastel on Rice Paper by Caroline Beauzon - 56¾" x 31"

A large contemporary pastel on rice paper by Caroline Beauzon, signed “CB.” This work depicts the iconic Norman Cherner armchair, reduced to a bold, simplified silhouette and rendered in saturated terracotta-red tones directly onto the natural paper ground. The confident curves, open arms, and elongated legs give the chair a striking graphic presence, while the visible pastel texture and subtle tonal variations retain a strong sense of the artist’s hand. Framed under glass in a slim natural wood frame, the tall vertical format heightens the composition’s clarity and visual impact.

Based in Provence, Caroline Beauzon is a contemporary artist known for transforming everyday objects into powerful visual emblems. Working with economy of means and assured gesture, she strips familiar forms to their essence, allowing colour and silhouette to carry meaning and decorative strength. Here, the Norman Cherner armchair is elevated beyond its functional origins to become a symbol of modern design, rendered with boldness, confidence, and a quietly joyful spirit.

This piece brings colour, energy, and an optimistic presence to an interior. It works beautifully as a standalone statement or within a gallery wall, where its vivid red hue and graphic form anchor the composition. Ideal for a dining area, living space, or creative studio, it pairs naturally with pale woods, ceramics, and neutral surfaces, adding rhythm, character, and a clear note of modernist joy.
