Peter Callesen (born in Copenhagen〔http://www.artfacts.net/en/artist/peter-callesen-34685/profile.html accessdate=2012=04-24〕 in 1967) is a Danish artist and author. Callesen is renowned for his talent in combining the minimalism of a big crisp white sheet of paper with the complexity of meticulously cut and folded paper and uses the two to build out some aesthetically pleasing compositions. He is also widely known as a paper cut artist. Particularly noteworthy are his works where the remains of the cut and folded objects are literally shadows of the objects former self. He uses the positive and negative space to tell a sometimes-dark story about the past and future of his subject using only a white sheet of paper. Callesen also works with a variety of other media including installations, performances, and monoprints.〔http://www.petercallesen.com/about/ accessdate=2012=04-24〕 He creates intricate papercut artwork from A4 paper and in large-scale installations. Each work is created from one sheet of paper, be it three-dimensional flowers falling from a bouquet's negative, a hummingbird flying from the page, or a child-size castle crafted from a billboard-sized paper. He uses paper because he says it is "probably the most common and consumed media used for carrying information today," but we "rarely notice the actual materiality" of it.〔http://www.petercallesen.com/about/ accessdate=2012=04-24〕 There is a tragic quality to most of his subjects, whether it's a flower dying, an angel locked in a birdcage, or even an apple reduced to its core. So the frail and delicate paper medium underlines that element of calamity. He says: "The paper cut sculptures explore the probable and magical transformation of the flat sheet of paper into figures that expand into the space surrounding them. The negative and absent two-dimensional space left by the cut, points out the contrast to the three-dimensional reality it creates, even though the figures still stick to their origin without the possibility of escaping. In that sense there is also an aspect of something tragic in many of the cuts".〔http://www.petercallesen.com/about/ accessdate=2012=04-24〕 He is currently represented by the Galería Valle Ortí in Spain.〔http://www.petercallesen.com/info/galleries/ accessdate=2012=04-24〕〔http://www.valleorti.com/ accessdate=2012=04-24〕 == Education == 〔http://www.petercallesen.com/biography/ accessdate=2012=04-24〕 *1997-00 Goldsmiths College, London *1994-97 Det Jyske Kunstakademi, Århus *1993-94 Århus Art School (Foundation Course) *1990-93 Århus School of Architecture 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Peter Callesen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
