Paper art can be traced back to Japan, where it originated over a thousand years ago.

From complex paper cutting to book carving, this is an ever expanding area of design that is hardly talked about.

These intricate paper designs grace museums and exauhibitions throughout the world and is becoming yet another exciting medium of expression for many designers.

Some of the artists featured here use simple materials, such as A4 printing paper, while others resort to unexpected materials, such as actual books, as their prime materials.

In this article, we’ll take a look at 13 remarkable artists and showcase their truly amazing pieces of paper art.

Yulia Brodskaya. For the one that has a forest with a well with a light coming out of it. And Su Blackwell’s flower arrangement.

I’m speechless! What incredible talent these artists have. It’s hard to pick a favorite. Bovey Lee’s work is very provocative and well as technically astute. Richard Sweeney forms look impossible and the colors in Jen Stark’s pieces are – for lack of a better word – brilliant!

absoutely incredible- unbelievable- yes, i agree- this is what you call “hard art” haha- the patience it must take- hell i thought i was patient when i but days into a design using photoshop or painting but this- im not sure i could deal with this- at least with photoshop you can CTRL + Z, painting you can paint over- drawing- erase- but this- one of those intricate little cuts goes a bit too far & rips- you have to start all over again? ef that!

I could look at these all day- my favorites are Julie Stark- the colors are candy to look at at; same with Julia Brodskaya- aesthetically lovely to look at; Brian Detmers books are unbelieveably breathtaking- i love the works using dictionarys – he takes such care even precisely picking which words to allow showing. Also enjoyed Peter Callesens skeletons & the boat and really loved the puppet & the one towards the end with the guy falling- even the shadows play an important role in his work- they look menacing sometimes against the stark paper. Lastly. Bovey Lees intricate designs cut from paper are beautiful- i know how much time it takes to do that.

Where did you find such a varied range of examples? I have always made my own paper art, feel most free with a scalpel on paper – but nothing to compare with the incredible patience and talent that has gone into these.

My favorite artist here, though, is the one whose work is the least complex and flattest: Yulia Brodskaya. The colors and shapes are breathtaking!

The book autopsies are a brilliant concept: exposing the secret, inner harmonies of books. It puts me in mind of human anatomy. There was a time when the inner harmonies and profundity of the human form used to be hidden. Where would we be, if we still didn’t know what happened inside us?

Absolutely incredible! I especially like Simon Schubert’s work. Amazing! And Brian Dettmer’s Book Autopsies are incredible. I’ve made some very simple book cuttings, but nothing, and I mean nothing like that. I’ve managed to cut out a roughly square chunk from the center of a book. And Yulia Brodskaya’s quilling is awesome! I feel an urge to pull out my quilling supplies again. And Wow! Jolis Paons dress leaves me speechless.

I, too, do crazy obsessive, extremely time- and labor-intensive artwork made from paper (books, that is, cut apart line by line, word by word and assembled into a variety of configurations with tape). Please do check out mine as well, if you are so inclined!

Paper cutting finds its origin in CHINA sometime after the invention of paper around the years 100 BC. Paper cutting came as a natural extension of leather sheet cutting and silver or copper foil cutting that were already practiced during the 5th century BC.

Chinese philosophy and culture expanded East to Japan in waves starting around the 2nd century AD.

For more on the traditional papercut technique, its history, and links to contemporary paper artists, please visit my papercuts page at http://einabems.com/Papercuts.htm

It is hard to pick a favorite; all are incredible, but for the macabre and whimsey of his concepts coupled with skillful execution, I would have to say Peter Callesen stands out. Since I sew, I loves Jolis Paons’ dress; it would be fantastic in any medium. But if I could have one in my house, I would take Elisa Mora’s bee because of the simplicity of the subject and complexity of workmanship. I loved seeing them all. Thanks for the posting.
