Peter Callesen


An artist friend of mine pointed me in the direction of this sculpture, Peter Callesen. Take some time out to take a look at his incredible works. His attention to detail is fascinating and a true representation of his dedication to his art. He works mostly with A4 paper to create his pieces. He says that "...the thin white paper gives the paper sculptures a frailty that underlines the tragic and romantic theme of my works." A lot of his influences lie in childhood, fairytales, and the beautifully fantasticle, and if you take a few minutes to have a look this really shows through. Don't forget to view his larger pieces, he rides around a river in a giant "paper" hat. The big kid.
