paper cut art by peter callesen the fall

Peter Callesen creates amazing works of paper cut art from large sheets of white crisp paper.

"Lately I have worked almost exclusively with white paper in different objects, paper cuts, installations and performances...

A large part of my work is made from A4 sheets of paper. It is probably the most common and consumed media used for carrying information today." Callesen's paper cut art works tackle the subjects of life, death and rebirth. He Changes 2-dimension sheets of common paper into amazing 3-dimensional paper sculptures. Some of Peter Callesen works, like Dying swan, deal with dramatic concepts such as humans "trapped in impossible situations and circles, dealing with death, rebirth, self-creation, and self-destruction." Callesen uses the whiteness of the paper for a metaphor "The whiteness, the ideal pure copy of something real as well as the vertical direction coherent in most of my paper works, could also indicate the aspect of something platonic or religious." Take a look at some of his amazing paper cut works below and let us know what you think!
