We like papercut a lot and we have already talk about it in our post The colorful world of paper sculptures by Jen Stark. We can hardly imagine how much work is needed to make such beautiful papercuts. It is a fascinating art and now we want to introduce you to another papercut artist: Peter Callesen.

He is from Denmark and his work is very different from the colorful one of Jen Stark; Callesen works with white paper and his creations are amazing. Here are few lines from his website:

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. 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.

We selected two of his recent artworks:
