The Core of Everything
Peter Callesen whom I have recently become familiar with, has the most beautiful pieces of art I've seen; it's breath taking. His work resembles that of Tord Boontje with his lattice-like forms.
"Broken Vase"
"Butterflies Trying to Escape Their Shadow"
"Hunting"
"Natures Maze"
"Distant Wish"
"Cradle"
"Wedding Dress Without Bride"
"Fall"
"Impenetrable Castle"
Some of the small paper cuts relate to a universe of fairy tales and
romanticism, as for instance "Impenetrable Castle" inspired by Hans Christian
Andersen's fairy tale "The Steadfast Tin Soldier", in which a tin soldier falls
in love with a paper ballerina, living in a paper castle. Other paper cuts are
small dramas in which small figures are lost within and threatened by the huge
powerful nature. Others again are turning the inside out, or letting the front
and the back of the paper meet - dealing with impossibility, illusions, and
reflections. -Peter Callesen

"The Impossible Meeting"
I have never heard of "The Steadfast Tin Soldier" but I can imagine the scenes with these spectacular illustrations. Just fascinating...

I have been obessed with his work for a long time. He has such amazing detail and they were just so clever. Check out the new paintings by Kara Walker who also takes paper and cut outs to a whole new level.
