In the past few years I have noticed that art using paper has become a noticeable tendency in the art world.

I came across an article on this and I had to share some of the images with you, because I feel that the simplicity of the ideas combined with patience and intricacy and some very talented artists has produced something that is definitely worth sharing:

Peter Callesen

















Jen Stark













Brian Dettmer













Su Blackwell











Bovey Lee













Bert Simons









Ingrid Siliakus











Angela Glajcar













Y. Nishimura













Lúcia David















Richard Sweeney

















Kako Uedo



















Aoyama Hina









Chris Natrop

















Feel free to share the work in paper you may have seen yourself!

The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.

Oh wow. That is incredible.

Ohhh....I love them all!! Thank you so much for posting this. I was unaware there was so much work being done with paper. Beautiful!

For the record, I don't when the rules changed in 'Tilted Creativity', if at all, but it was my assumption that this forum was solely reserved for our own original artistic endeavors; I'm not trying to say I know more than 'A' because I know of 'B', or even try to move this thread, but for expositions of other artists, I thought 'Found on the Net' or 'General Discussion' would be the appropriate venues, at least from my understanding from reading this forum's overview. Maybe it is an explanation of why I don't spend as much time here sharing, other than supplying short stories and/or indicative comments on others' works.


But besides my little confusion, here is something of interest that adds dimension to the topic, and is an elaboration of one of the names (and pieces) from above:

Ingrid Siliakus,
Paper architect/artist,
Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

Jetée thank you for your contributions!

The rules changed a while back, you can have a read here. Basically the staff decided that it was ok to share artwork and discuss it even if it was not your own, as long as you credit the artist.

Here is another artist working with paper, mainly known for origami work, Haruki Nakamura.

I though this was interesting because it has movement:

This is such a cool thread! I did a few of the papercraft models a few years back from my own 3d models. It was pretty cool but the origami/paper art from the OP are crazy!!! And the paper heart is highly ingenious.

I had missed this thread, little_tippler. Thank you for it.

I have a special interest in paper as my work was included in a Smithsonian Institution traveling show entitled, Paper as Medium. This was decades ago, so it is very edifying to have this update. Paper is an awesome medium.

Appreciated,
Art

American artist and mathematician Robert The is the creator of these odd works of art made from books.

"Many of the books used were found in dumpsters and thrift store bins," and he says,
"they are lovingly vandalized back to life so they can assert themselves against the culture which turned them into debris."
Beginning the practice in 1991, the California-born artist's work has since been shown across New York and across the nation.

author's comments:
This is my senior project at Savannah College of Art and Design. Where my idea comes from is that every time when I am busy, I feel that I am not fighting with my works, I am fighting with those post-it notes and deadline. I manipulating the post-it notes to do pixel-like stop motion and there are some interactions between real actor and post-its.

Post-it Art : Productivity in Many Wonderful Colors

In the corporate world, climbing ladders and shaking hands run simultaneous. Between lunches, dinners, and meetings, something had to surface among the numbing UV lights of the office to keep everything in line. The Post-it Note, a small square with re-adhearable adhesive on the back, was one such answer. The three-inch bright yellow square was employed as a reminder, a note, or for organization... But some don't see it as only a productivity tool... they see it as a medium for colorful art.

Even on 3M's corporate site the Post-it Notes are sold with the slogan "So express yourself in color." Some creative people took that idea to heart and below are several examples of how people have used the sticky notes to create works of art.

Artist Showcase: Patrick Gannon


"This Lightning Won’t Forge Itself" [.]
size: 7 1/4 x 10 3/8”
medium: cut paper on wood

Patrick’s illustrations and artwork are made entirely of cut-paper (and often wood) in his studio in Tokyo, Japan,
where he lives with his amazing wife and a very, very large collection of paper from all over the world.

Mixing bold whimsy with a subtle conceptual streak, his artwork combines influences from his life in Japan and his upbringing on a farm in New Jersey where he was surrounded by animals and the natural world. His interest in myths and fables drove him to study literature as an undergrad at Providence College, Rhode Island. All these elements come together to invent a unique mythology for the current world.

Patrick has an MFA in illustration from the Savannah College of Art and Design. His work can be seen internationally in books, magazines, newspapers and more.


“Social Grooming” | cut-paper [.]

In his words, about his process and inspiration:
"Layer upon textural layer, my cut and torn paper artwork builds upwards to reveal an invisible world that exists intertwined with and inextricably linked to our own. Mythology, the supernatural, American pop culture and Japanese tradition mingle like tipsy guests at a cocktail party. I use my knife to shape each jagged piece, slicing away at illusion and giving form to a wondrous, dangerous and not-at-all-alien world of emotion, spirit and thought.

There is a primitive quality to paper that calls out to be touched. It is rough, textured, basic. I use this sensuality to evoke an immediate, gut-level response."


"The Golden Sea, It Has Teeth" [.]

Su Blackwell and her focused medium:

"Paper has been used for communication since its invention; either between humans or in an attempt to communicate with the spirit world. I employ this delicate, accessible medium and use irreversible, destructive processes to reflect on the precariousness of the world we inhabit and the fragility of our life, dreams and ambitions.

It is the delicacy, the slight feeling of claustrophobia, as if these characters, the landscape have been trapped inside the book all this time and are now suddenly released. A number of the compositions have an urgency about them, the choices made for the cut-out people from the illustrations seem to lean towards people on their way somewhere, about to discover something, or perhaps escaping from something. And the landscapes speak of a bleak mystery, a rising, an awareness of the air."
