Peter Callesen

Peter Callesen
This week was the beginning of my night classes at the local city college hence why I haven't posted with such frequency, soso sorry. On Tuesday, I attended what I thought was going to be 3D Design Drawing but turned out to be simply 3D Design class. At first I was a little skeptical mainly because of the intense attendance policy but I've settled with excitement that it's not just another drawing course. Through the semester we will be using a variety of mediums to create 3D art. Our first medium: Paper.

Via our first lesson, I learned to Peter Callesen. His work is world renowned so I feel that many people may already be aware of who he is, however it's my first introduction.



Most of his work simply uses A4 paper which is in between letter and legal. With the most simple medium, he's been able to transform paper something we can all relate to into something magical. His themes are laced with romanticism and tragedy, givin you that "ah-huh" and "how the hell did you do that" sensation. What's even more amazing and not to mention sustainable he only uses the paper that he cuts out for the shadow to construct his 3D forms. Pretty cool, huh?

Anyways, thanks for reading. I'm new to this blog world and love receiving all your feedback and the flattery that comes with ;)

much love and until next time,
