Peter Callesen

Danimarca+intaglio=Peter Callesen. Tutto da vedere il suo lavoro, pieno com’è di intagli grandi e piccini, incorniciati o meno, e con alcune incursioni nella neve e nell’acqua.

Most recently I have started making white paper cuts/sculptures inspired by fairytales and romanticism exploring the relationship between two and three dimensionality, between image and reality. I find the materialization of a flat piece of paper into a 3D form as an almost magic process – or maybe one could call it obvious magic, because the process is obvious and the figures still stick to their origin, without the possibility of escaping. In that sense there is also an aspect of something tragic in most of the cuts. (…)
