I completely found Peter Callesen's work by accident, I've been racking my brain all day trying to think of another artists name and one of his projects came up in the google search. I was pretty blown away by what this chap can do with a single piece of paper and some glue. He cuts out shapes from the paper and builds structures to form complimentary shapes. His body work work is massive too, I have just chosen a few of my favs, mainly of the a4 work but he's done numerous large scale installations, commissions and even some stuff involving floating castles!
If that sounds all good to you I urge you to check more of his stuff out here. I'm pretty chuffed about finding is work, especially seeing that I wasn't working for it. All pics from Peter Callesen's site.
this is SO COOL. i am most in love with the skeleton and the tree. wow, thanks for sharing your find :)
ReplyDeleteamazing stuff, bit of a consolation for not remembering the other artist! i tried to DM you on twitter earlier but not sure it worked, just to say i probably won't get to say hi on your visit - next time!
ReplyDeleteI've heard of him before, and seen his things, but that doesn't mean I stil don't get completely blown away by his work! He is freaking amazing, I can't even begin to think HOW would one do that!?
ReplyDeleteoh wow! That's pretty amazing. I don't know if I like the tree or the skeleton best.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous stuff. Very delicate and beautiful. Kind of calming.. Some of it feels like paused paper animation, like I'm in the middle of a story.
ReplyDeletei remember we used to do this in grade school but of course it was much much more simpler then. nothing as complicated and amazing as this.
