Canadian sculptor creates animals from paper (PHOTO)
Canadian Calvin Nicholls designs from paper multi-layer portraits of animals that “break out” of the flat surfaces of paintings. His works look very realistic.
The sculptor creates animals from paper, giving them a sense of life and realism. Countless paper ribbons turn into realistic fur and feathers, forming a kind of three-dimensional image.
To achieve a bump effect, Calvin Nicholls first creates a design that will serve as a future skeleton sculpture. The master uses a scalpel and scissors of different sizes, carefully cutting small pieces of paper and gluing them, says the artist’s website.
The sculptor says that depending on the complexity of the project, work on it can last from several days to several months. Some of his works reach two meters in length and do not exceed 10 cm in width.
“Difficult work rarely bears fruit instantly, but my perseverance played into my hands. Confidence in their work and modesty in relation to personal creativity were also a good formula. I also always watch other successful artists, tracking trends in the competitive art world. It’s not easy, but I really like what I do.”
