Framed A4 Paper Cut Art Using Negative and Positive Space

Danish artist Peter Callesen has created a stunning series of paper sculptures constructed with A4 sheets of paper cut using both the negative and positive space within its frame.

The paper cut sculptures explore the probable and magical transformation of the flat sheet of paper into figures that expand into the space surrounding them. The negative and absent 2 dimensional space left by the cut, points out the contrast to the 3 dimensional reality it creates, even though the figures still stick to their origin without the possibility of escaping. In that sense there is also an aspect of something tragic in many of the cuts.
