Beautiful Scrap Paper Art by Nick Georgiou
New York City-based artist Nick Georgiou uses paper scraps from books and newspapers to create beautiful portraits and sculptures.
My art is inspired by the death of the printed word. Books and newspapers are becoming artifacts of the 21st century. As a society we’re shifting away from print consumption and heading straight towards full digital lives. My sculptures are products of their environment —both literally and figuratively. As often as I can, I use local newspapers to add authenticity, and the form the sculpture takes is a reflection of the personal connection I feel to that particular city.
