Paper art by Peter Callesen…
Danish artist Peter Callesen doesn’t so much create works on paper, but rather works from paper. Callesen uses paper as his medium, creating sculptural works by folding paper. But his work is more complicated than cutting and pasting pieces of paper. Each work is made by cutting a single sheet and using only the removed paper to create figures or buildings. These sheets can be as small as a4 size or as big as 7m by 5m. Callesen states, “my paper works have been based around an exploration of the relationship between two and three dimensionality. I find this materialization of a flat piece of paper into a 3d form almost a magic process.” The meticulous works definitely hold a sense of wonder that comes from their precise detail capture through such a common material.
