Peter Callesen

Danish artist Peter Callesen works mainly with the humble white paper in different objects, paper-cuts, installations and performances. His paper-cuts and sculptures are astounding feats of craft, wherein the "impossible becomes real". Castles, the Tower of Babel,cages, doves and ruins are just some images which popular this artist's romantic universe. The paper-cuts embody their own melancholy: each 3D paper sculpture is stuck to a 2D cut space on a piece of paper, suggesting the tragedy of never being able to escape one's origin.

Emma Hack

I was truly inspired by the "wall paper" design of Emma Hack, who is known as a " body artist", meaning her canvas of choice is the human body. Using wall paper designed by Florence Broadhurs, Hack painted models to match, making them literally disappeared into the wall. Here detailed work matches the walls patterns to a tee, creating an effect that even the best Photoshop jockey would be hard pressed to replicate.

Painter and sculptor Emma Hack's collection, "wall paper", is a serious of meticulously painted models made to blend in with the design behind them-true wallflowers! Hack must have been incredibly patient when working on canvas that move and breathe; her work is so precise, if you blur your vision, the models effortlessly become part of the wall paper.

Slinkachu

The simplest way to describe Slinkachu is as a London-based artist who creates very small street-based illustrations and then photographs them: from far away and up-close. He could also be describe as a miniaturist. He modifies tiny human figurines from model train sets and places them in real urban situation, capturing them sight-seeing,camping,grocery shopping, fighting and dying. A tiny man in a suit holds a spent life-size matchstick and gazes at his now scorched car called"company car" A miniature man holding a rifle, who has seemingly just shot a life-sized bee, says to his crouching daughter, " They are not pets,Susan".
