Following the publication of his stunning
Paper Cut book,
illustrator Owen Gildersleeve is rather fittingly taking the 2D images
from the book and presenting them in all their 3D glory at a forthcoming
exhibition.
Just
as the paper craft the book illustrates is the result of a meticulous
transformation of paper illustrations into paper sculpture; so the show
will bring to life the work of the illustrates celebrated in
Gildersleeve’s lovely tome.
The
show, which opens at east London’s Proud Archivist gallery at the end
of next month, will present more than 50 works by 25 paper craft
illustrators.
Paper
sculptures will be shown alongside original artworks and prints,
helping show the process as well as the final works of what the gallery
terms ‘this burgeoning and otherworldly field of illustration.’
Running alongside the exhibition will be a series of talks and workshops, letting visitors put scalpel to paper themselves.
Featured
artists range from well-known paper crafters such as Rob Ryan to
lesser-known practitioners including Bianca Chang, who is showing her
Comparative Form in White series.
Paper Cut, The Exhibition runs from 28 August – 25 September at The Proud Archivist, 2-10 Hertford Road, London N1 5ET
