Paper sculpture is a blend of cutting, scoring, engineering, painting, and pure artistic talent. Chris Butler has spent a lifetime developing and refining this unique style of art. The depth of this art allows for the play of light and shadow to create these unforgettable images. |
Step 1.
The process begins with an actual size sketch of the art. | Step 2.
Once the drawing has been approved, Chris uses a dark marker to outline the sections that will be converted to dimensional art. |
Step 3.
The individual sections are then transferred to a heavy weight archival paper stock, ready for cutting out and scoring to give them their characteristic relief. | Step 4.
Each piece is then individually painted with archival pigments and are ready for assembly onto the final piece. A creative use of bending and spacers help to give the desired dimensional effect. |
The Final Piece:
Bringing all of the elements together to create a stunning work of art that is truly unique. |
