Papercuts Never Looked So Good…
Artist Peter Callesen gets excited when he sees a sheet of boring A4 paper…he uses his imagination and an X-acto knife to create stunningly detailed works of art. Callesen says he’s “found a material which we are all able to relate to, and at the same time is non-loaded and neutral, and therefore easier to fill with different meanings. The thin white paper gives the paper sculptures a frailty that underlines the tragic and romantic themes of the work.” Here are some of my favorite pieces from Callesen’s ‘A4 Papercut’ collection:
-”Half Way Through” (2006)
—
-”Impenetrable Castle” (2005)
—
-”Snowballs” (2005)
-”Down the River” (2005)
-”Do Not Enter” (2006)
-”Little Erected Ruin” (2007)
