Peter Callesen... Inspiration

Peter Callesens work immediatly caught my eye. The obsessive amount of detail he has gone into to create these pieces of work is incredible. The work below has all been crafted out of A4 paper...

” It is probably the most common and consumed media used for carrying information today. This is why we rarely notice the actual materiality of the A4 paper. By taking away all the information and starting from scratch using the blank white A4 paper sheet for my creations, I feel I have found a material that we are all able to relate to, and at the same time the A4 paper sheet is neutral and open to fill with different meaning. The thin white paper gives the paper sculptures a frailty that underlines the tragic and romantic theme of my works.” 

Here are some more of Peter Callesen work, however these are large framed paper cutouts...

I especially enjoy his work due to the fact that many of these pieces have a comical aspect to them.
