Peter CalleSen Paper Cutting Art Sculpture Network

PeterCalleSen Paper-cut Art Sculpture Website is a website dedicated to displaying the works of Danish paper-cut artist Peter Callesen. On this website, you can appreciate various paper-cut art sculptures created by Callesen and feel his unique understanding and exquisite skills of paper-cut art.

Callesen's works use A4 paper as the main material, and transform flat paper into three-dimensional art sculptures through cutting, folding, and stacking. The themes of his works are diverse, including characters, animals, architecture, etc., and each work is full of creativity and imagination. At the same time, his works also reflect his in-depth exploration of the relationship between two-dimensional and three-dimensional, giving flat paper new life and form.

On the PeterCalleSen Paper-cut Art Sculpture Website, you can not only appreciate Callesen's works, but also understand his creative process, sources of inspiration, and his understanding and thinking of paper-cut art. This website provides an important platform for paper-cut art enthusiasts to understand and learn paper-cut art, and also provides strong support for the dissemination and promotion of Callesen's works.

Recently, I have been using white paper almost exclusively in different objects, paper cuts, installations and performances. Most of my works are made with A4 paper. It is probably the most common and consumed medium used to carry information today. That is why we rarely notice the actual importance of A4 paper. By removing all the information and creating from scratch with blank white A4 paper, I feel I have found a material that we can all relate to, while A4 paper is neutral and can be filled with different meanings. The thin white paper gives the paper sculptures a sense of fragility, highlighting the tragic and romantic themes of my work.

The paper cut sculptures explore the possibility that flat paper may magically transform into figures and expand into the space around them. The negative and missing two-dimensional space left by the cuts points out the contrast with the three-dimensional reality it creates, although the figures still stick to their origin, without the possibility of escape. In this sense, many cuts also have a tragic side.

I recently worked on the idea of ​​complexity in the piece The White Diary. It shows a human head with a sketchbook in the middle. From the pages of the book grows a complex thought process, like an imaginative landscape painting full of details and fairy tales. This labyrinthine mapping of the brain simultaneously shows confusion and a feeling of being lost in the details, which in turn disables any rational overview for a while. Only by seeing the sculpture from a distance and drawing its entirety can you create order out of chaos.
