Exciting Art Alert: Peter Callesen
Peter Callesen. Fire Escape Unable to Escape Fire, 2006
It's been quite a while since I last posted anything here--probably because I have no idea whether anyone is actually reading this blog. But hey, if you're reading this right now that's great because it gives purpose to my actions and that's very satisfying.
Anyway, the reason I felt compelled to post something today was that I just became familiar with a contemporary Danish artist whose work I really find very compelling and, as a fan of new art, I feel it's my duty to spread the word whenever I come across something something exciting.
The artist in question is named Peter Callesen and he has done work in a range of areas, from drawings to installations to performance art. The works of his that I find most striking, however, are stunning sculptural objects created by intricately cutting out bits from single sheets of white paper. It's really quite breathtaking when you realized the detail he has accomplished with such modest materials--and the finished works are always conceptually intriguing. Be sure to check out his stuff on his website: http://www.oncotton.co.uk/peter/index.html
