Sculptures Made Out of a Single Paper Sheet

by on Dec 7, 2010 • 1:18 pm 19 Comments

Peter Callesen (born 1967) is a Danish artist who makes incredibly complex and beautiful  sculptures out of a single sheet of paper. He has an exceptional talent in combining the minimalism of a big crisp white sheet of paper with the complexity of meticulously cut and folded paper and uses the two to build out some really beautiful compositions.[1]

“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” says Peter.

    this is what happens when someone has too much free time, but I like it!!!

  • deedee

    Wow! I love it!! I would definitely go insane if I had to do something as precise as his skeletons :) )

  • ellen

    Amazing!

  • Dario

    wow some are so detailed, can’t believe it is really possible! I feel so bad about my artistic skills when I see such things.

  • pppp

    Really amazing works, however he is a bit too much obsessed with skeletons

  • Birdcaged

    amazingly beautiful

    Wonderful piece of work

    The mark of a true artist, a true maniac or both. ;-) Isn’t this so much better a use for creativity than trying to come up with ever more creative ways to kill or hurt or manipulate one another? :-)

    I think you are very creative and very good and steady scissormanship! One of God’s Gifts, you are blessed indeed!

  • Luftmensvh Ekelenburg

    The imagination is several degrees past simple reason. The skill, even in this avant garde world of looking at art, defies classification. The technical discipline bespeaks concentration, focus, and confidence in the artists’s own abilities. This artist is a genius, and must be shared with the entire art-appreciating world. The tragedy is that the “average” person has not been, through public policy, acculturated to appreciate, enjoy seeking, and encouraging and supporting, encouraging, and promoting artistic enthusiasm.
